Dear Friends,

This was on my birth date and hour, according to my chart. I am just posting it so that I can access the text wherever I may be, nothing to it, just my thing.
(I do want that, within the near future, I will start posting more interesting things about cooking and as well about my life experiences as a cook and as a human being, but for now, I take a break.)

Being receptive to future possibilities is the most important way in which your true future will manifest. Ideas and concepts abound in your mind, and these must be acted on, in order for them to become real. Of course, you don't always have to bring your concepts into manifestation, but you are possessed of talents in the realm of future vision which are unusual and need to be used. Taking your abilities for granted is one way that you avoid having to push yourself into higher development. Whether you are able to make anything out of your ideas will depend on your level of motivation. If you are lazy and like things the way they are, then you are more likely to use your mental constructions as ways of moving through the day without having to confront reality. But if you really see the wisdom of your mental wandering, you will realize that you must make them into some tangible expression, probably creatively, in order for them to live in the way that they were meant to. Your talents are meant to be used creatively. The flow of ideas is the creative muse in action. To waste what is divinely given is not only unethical, it is allowing the mundane to overpower the spiritual in a way which your own conscience tells you is not right. Use your power and enliven the world in which you live.
True... who have imagined, when I created this blog's name, more than a year ago, that King Food would be what I would be doing now in my last Job?
That's right, my last boss was the King's Chef, in Belgium of course, Portugal is a Republic.
And more, much more, now I realize...
This is why I claim that there are no coincidences, just signs confirming your path. You just have to feel when you are going the right way. Sense and be true, to you and others. This is all you need to move forward. Let go and believe. Never be afraid.
Try it yourself... Let me know...
Try to decide between 10 million Euros and 12 million Euros. Which one do you choose? Easy: None or the highest value. Right? Everything should be as easy, but it is not...
How do you choose between staying in your country and develop your own cuisine in your own restaurant, already opened, but not yours yet, or going to France, to a new restaurant, to be opened, working with two Great French Michelin Starred Chefs and in a place such as Dijon?
Tell me. How can I choose ? Both are huge leaps for me. Both are huge challenges. I love both choices, both ideas.
I think that I already know what to do, but I am still not 100% sure.
Leave me some comments on this, please: Help me decide...
P.S.
I forgot to mention that I am presently discussing with a major Portuguese t.v. Production Company, the possibility of having my own T.V. program about cooking.
Really,the more I know about cooking, the more humble I get .
To be a Chef takes a great deal of humbleness. Nose up will only make you dum and dummer, if you insist.
The learning process never ends, as in life...
When you have younger cooks and chefs working with you , you tend to feel watched by all. They judge you every second and you know that you have to make mistakes to learn and to get something done better. Shit happens, and the more skilfull you get, the less mistakes you tend to make, but, to make better things, you will make mistakes and YOU WILL LEARN FROM THEM ! THAT'S THE SECRET ! Only when you make shit and you don't learn, then you are in deep shit...
it's true !
It all started on October, 13th, in 2006.
Still going and lots of things have happened since then. Some good, some strange, some that I still don't know how to judge, but here I am, still blogging for you all and for myself I presume, after all, this is my passion, I hope yours too.
keep in touch...
This August was awesome in working hours ! But thats life, 'cause later in the season it will be calmer and now it's time to boogie and make money.
I am just saying that I had not much time to write here so often and in September will write more and some new and crazy recipes with eggs and other stuff.
See ya all !
That's what I like:
(...) The breakfasts were superb, but the evening meals were outstanding. I believe a sign of a good restaurant is not having any salt or pepper condiments on the table, as there is no need because the food is already perfectly seasoned.(...)
