About Jessica YU

I am Hui-Ling,Yu and also go by Jessica. I come from Taipei, Taiwan. I came to realize what I wanted and that is I am keen on culinary and baking arts after I had worked at insurance company for approximately 10 years in my hometown. So that is why I study at George Brown College, a famous chef school in Toronto. I am excited to learn new techniques but also a little bit sad at the same time since my family is far away from me. However, I know this experience will make me a stronger person.

I currently have a part time position at Chatime,which is a famous Taiwanese bubble tea shop in Toronto. I want to be a chef because I enjoy the process of cooking and/or making desserts, as well as creating new idea about food. I think I will be proud of myself if customers like and enjoy my creation. That's why I started to learn how to decorate cakes. Although the course is quite expensive, but I knew this is the path I have to follow in this stage of my life. Fortunately, I really gained a lot of new knowledge and got to polish my skills from the course.

Often times, after watching a TV program or an online video about cooking, I would get inspired and encouraged to keep pursuing my passion. Meanwhile, this also prompted me to think my philosophy of cooking is. I believe healthy food can still come with big taste. Modern people suffer from many diseases partially because their eating behaviour is not correct. I hope while people enjoy my food, they will also live a healthy life. Below is one of my favourite quotes: 

"If you only design menus that are essentially junk or fast food, the whole infrastructure supports junk." -- Jamie Oliver

I do agree with Chef Jamie Oliver since he only promotes the right concepts and makes constructive opinions on his website/blog. I could access his website/blog to learn plenty of knowledge or ideas. However, it will be better if he could add the instruction video on the same page of the recipe instead of a separate one so the visitors will know exactly how to do it.

Nowadays, digital technology has become vital to the society since people can easily get a lot of information. In other words, owning a website has become common for everyone. I hope people could give me feedback after they visit my blog to help me improve the site or add anything that they are interested in. This blog is my first one and I hope it will become a great platform for me to convey my feeling in words or pictures, and then let more people know and understand who I am and what I do.
