I think I’ve always been interested in food. My grandparents lived on a farm in Lincolnshire and had a good       . She made fantastic English food; her roast beef was out of this world. I used to love going down to the          and watching her work, and I learned a lot from her. I realized that I wanted to be a cook when I was about 12. When other boys          to do sports after school, I helped with cooking at home. When I was 15, I          to be a cook. However, I knew my parents wouldn’t allow me to be a cook. I had to tell them about it         .
I told them that I wanted to do a cookery course for fun, and stayed for a month in a hotel in Torquay. I enjoyed it so much that I couldn’t put off telling my parents any longer,        I brought the subject up one night over dinner.       there was silence, and then my father asked me why. I explained that cooking was         painting a picture or writing a book. Every meal was a work of creation(创造). I could see that my father disagreed, but he was not      . He just looked at me and smiled. My mother kissed me. And now I have my own restaurant, and it goes well. I can see they are      me. However, my grandfather thinks I’m mad to give up farming.
