My Culinary mind and thoughts : Inspirational Chefs

Hello and welcome.To start off my blog, I would like to start off with my Inspirational Chef posts. Where I'll share you who are my inspirational chefs that has made in impact on my to be in this culinary field. I would also like to say, I think everyone has to have an inspirational person in their lives. We look up to them and just admire them. Sometimes if we might feel down, we look to them and just make our day a lot more special. They can be also our role models too where sometimes we would like to be them. They inspire us to be who we are, and just trying to follow their footstep.

Let start off with my inspirational chef. He is a chef where I do admire him, look up to him, and he allowed me to see inside of his delightful world. His name is Yigit Pura, where I do have respect for him as a chef and as a person. As a chef, I mean as in pastry chef. Even though I enjoy cooking I also enjoy baking. Yigit Pura was the one who expanded my world from culinary to pastry. Although it did not convince me to move from savory to pastry, it made me to learn more about pastry. My career goal is to be a well rounded chef. Thanks to him where I like to say the chef who really expanded my world. Pastry is very delicate and where it must be precise. One tiny error can make a big difference to the end product. Yigit Pura on how he influence me to be on the pastry side, where his craft is very skilled and just wanting me to learn more. He used to work on the savory side, but he decides to go into pastry. Savory side where that rush of the kitchen is like a drug. A drug where to get everything done in a amount of time, and being able to produce nice looking plates. Also the feeling after a lunch rush or even a dinner rush, just feels rewarding. Pastry side is much less than that, where having the time and patience to craft a sculpture, and applying more details to the plate or even a cake. For Yigit, he founded what he loves to do which is to do pastry.
Yigit just pushed me to be in his world, showing how these elegant plates of desserts and the time and patience that goes along with these plates. The ability to take control in everything and precise measurements, and that what I might think of a pastry side from a Culinary student perspective.

Yigit Pura is an Executive Pastry Chef and owner of his long dream came true, Tout Sweet. http://www.toutsweetsf.com/
His desserts look very delicious where I want to try, and you might want to try too. The most surprising thing that he is a winner of Top Chef Just Desserts season 1. For any fans of the Top Chef shows, you might able to know him.
With that he was able to be a stronger person. Yigit where he use that to able to speak up for what he believes. He is an advocate of gay rights and actually himself he is gay.
Yigit Pura I look up to him as a great role model, where he is a strong man. When he was building up his career and felt being pushed down he was able to stand right back up. Standing right back up with strength that he went on forward, and just keeps on going. Yigit inspires me just to do the same, if I get knocked down just stand back up. Especially when working in the kitchens, or when the chef criticize or yells. I would say to myself just stand up strong and fight back harder. Yigit did that and that what makes him successful. One chef told me, "only the strong survive in this business " .
Yigit also changed me into something more personal, and it his take on compassion. Compassion where I think everyone should at least try to have in order trying to create this world in to a better place. Yigit I would like to say that his compassion is just high, and he is a very compassionate person.

Also sometimes the saying goes "Don't trust a skinny chef". Well, I don't think so with this chef, he is very talented man, and just look.
Most of the time working in a kitchen is long and hard and just tiresome. Some of us don't even have the time to exercise, but somehow he does. Yigit's sugar intake from what I have read, is like possible around 80% , and that for me just a little crazy. But still how can this man able to have this body?

Yigit Pura I would like to say that he have a nice and warm personality, where he is very kind and gentle. Hopefully one day that I would be able to meet him and just seeing him would be nice. Don't we all have that feeling when it comes to meet your role model or some famous person? Also it might be a dream to work for him, in order to gain my pastry experience. It would be nice to work for him, and at least learning from the best.
