Hello, my name is Tim van den Bergh I am currently learning about the science of food and cooking. I was born and raised in The Netherlands and graduated high school there in 2008. Upon my high school graduation I participated in a foreign exchange program which placed me in Des Moines, Iowa for a year at an American high school. I started my college experience in Los Angeles, California, at California State University Los Angeles. After my freshmen year I transferred to Loras College where I am currently pursuing a Bachelor degree in Criminal Justice. I enjoy playing soccer, making music, cycling, and traveling. On top of that I LOVE FOOD. through food, flavors, and taste people can express culture. Cooking interests me because food never tastes the same. The details in the process of cooking create unique flavors and even home-cooked meals that you have eaten so many times can taste different every time. As I enjoy traveling I also enjoy authentic foreign food. My mother is very skilled in the Indian cuisine and both of my parents have a passion for cooking that they passed on to me and my sister. Making something delicious out of simple ingredients is enjoyable and trying new recipes and dishes opens my eyes to the endless opportunities that the world of cooking provides. This January I hope to become familiar with new methods of cooking and ingredients. I also hope to receive a deeper understanding of the processes that transform certain ingredients into dishes and by doing so become more able to use those ingredients in future cooking. Lastly I would like to learn how science explains certain cooking mysteries and use this knowledge to create unique new recipes and dishes.
Good job Timmy! It was good to hear a little about your background. It'll be fun experimenting with different ingredients and making some unique foods.
Tim, It looks like you got off to a nice start with your blog. Although I have learned a little about your background through our CJ courses, I liked how you included this aspect in your intro post to make it more personable and interesting. I also enjoy authentic foods and enjoy cooking. Cant wait to see what experiments you do during this course.
Hey Tim! Good to get to know you a little bit. I share your goal of wanting to know the processes that transform certain ingredients into dishes. If there was one thing that I could take out of course, this would be it! Looking forward to see what you post next. -Tom(ato)
