Afternoon with a Master Chef

Dylan has shown an increasing interest in cooking.  Since we have been in India, he has started a mini business of his own called “Taste of America.”  He bakes cookies, cakes and pizzas and sells them in our neighborhood.  Recently, we were talking to the owner of a local sweet shop, and he told us of an Indian Master Chef who lives in our city.  Dylan found out that this chef works at one of the local public school.  So, Dylan went the school to see if he could meet him and possibly take lessons from him.  He left his name and phone number with the principal to pass onto the chef.

Several weeks passed and we didn’t think we were going to hear from the Master Chef.  Then, he finally called and invited Dylan to his house.  The chef grew up in our city and cooked for the military for several years.  He is very busy with his own life and family.  But, he has taken the time out of his schedule to spend some time with Dylan, because he is blessed by Dylan’s passion to learn to cook. 

Last weekend, the Master Chef came to our house and taught Dylan how to bake an apple pie.  It was fabulous!  Here are some pictures of their afternoon together.  I intentionally withheld the name of the Master Chef because this is something he did out of the kindness of his own heart.  It isn’t something he is able to do for everyone so we don’t want to make any issues for him.  But, we wanted to share with you how blessed we are by many of the people we have encountered in India.
