About Karen

I don't consider myself a chef yet. In my dreams I am one, but right now, I guess I am still a software developer... but then again, maybe I'm neither.

I graduated from Stanford in '99 and have been working as a Java developer ever since. Cooking has been a passion since high school, so after being laid off the second time last June, I have been contemplating the life of a chef. I would like to open a restaurant or patisserie someday... hopefully in the near future.

As much as I love to eat, I also love to exercise. I have lots of free time now, so I try to play golf, tennis, do yoga, and go to the gym regularly.

You'll probably get a better sense of who I am from reading my journal entries.


About This Site
I started this site with the intention of inspiring myself to pursue my dream of opening a restaurant. I also wanted to detail the steps, emotions, experiences, and people I encounter on this personal journey in the hopes that I can inspire other people like me. Many thanks to Garry and George, who took the initiative to get this site out there.
