Q. How did you start cooking?
A. I think it all started with trying to make an egg. Back when my sister would go to cooking classes, she would come back home and impress everyone with her expertise. So, I tried to make an egg just to beat her from seeking all the attention. Also, I travel constantly because of my profession, and I have also been an assistant director. On such occasions, food becomes the basic necessity for survival and it is like camping out. So cooking comes to help.
