wow... extremely inspiring.<br />
<br />

My father, a Muslim immigrant in Denmark, has had all the typical working-class jobs. He’s lugged heavy crates as a greengrocer, driven people around Copenhagen at night in taxis. He has cleaned piles of dirty glasses and espresso cups. In fact, it was whilst washing plates that he met my mother, a cashier at the same cafeteria.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #808285; font-family: brandon, 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
When I turned fifteen, I left school having failed to make the minimum grade. With little direction I enlisted at the neighbourhood culinary school. Here the academic demands were less rigorous. For instance, one of the more challenging questions on my final exam was to name ‘soft-boiled egg’ in several languages (for the record, I came up with three and passed). Kitchen work at that time was considered menial labour; perhaps if a cook became skilled enough he might be called a craftsman, but he would never be valued for his contribution in the same way as a lawyer or an architect is. We were merely the ones that fed them.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #808285; font-family: brandon, 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
Twenty years later, I’m still a chef, but the public perspective of our profession is very different. No longer are we thought of as simple labourers chopping carrots in sweaty, dangerous kitchens, never seeing the light of day. The traditional distinctions that define and dictate what we do and our place in society have become blurred. We chefs now have responsibilities that transcend our knife skills.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #808285; font-family: brandon, 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
Chefs have a new opportunity – and perhaps even an obligation – to inform the public about what is good to eat, and why. But we ourselves need to learn much more about issues that are critical to our world: culinary history, native flora, the relationship between food and food supply systems, sustainability and the social significance of how we eat.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #808285; font-family: brandon, 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
It was in the hope of extending that education that, a couple of years ago, some colleagues and I began to think about staging an open, collaborative forum dedicated to the changing role of the chef. Taking as our reference points the Glastonbury Music Festival or Denmark’s own Roskilde – both grassroots celebrations where inspiration and quality of content trumps commercial interests – we wanted to organise the culinary analogy: an outdoor festival fuelled by a devotion to food and a desire to understand it better.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #808285; font-family: brandon, 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
On the last weekend of August 2011, years of thought, patience and persistence become reality at the first MAD Symposium, as we brought together farmers, scholars, foragers and chefs to talk about where we are and educate each other about where we can go. Somewhere we could all learn together in an enjoyable and relaxed environment, building on past experience and creating new combinations of gastronomic knowledge for the future.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #808285; font-family: brandon, 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Symposium pulled together the audience into what we hope will be a long-lasting and growing community of people who are mindful about the food they cook and eat. Understanding and treating our produce with care is an obvious step if we hope to produce the finest taste, but it is also necessary to provide the next generation with a solid foundation.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #808285; font-family: brandon, 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
We recognise that the modern chef is faced with challenges and responsibilities that go far beyond supplying simple sustenance for the duration of a single meal and want the chefs who attend the Symposium to return to their kitchens and reflect on what they have seen and heard; the new questions we now know to ask, to become more inquisitive and imaginative.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #808285; font-family: brandon, 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
New knowledge not only makes us more responsible, it can also make us more creative, more socially engaged, with a fresh understanding and the tools to consider the cultural, historical, social and scientific context of the food all of us cook and serve every day. This Symposium, this format of collaboration, is one way of setting a new educational standard amongst ourselves, one that goes beyond simply naming soft-boiled eggs.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; color: #808285; font-family: brandon, 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
Sincerely yours,</div>

and so i went home to google the song and found a couple of versions, from the drifters who sang the original version to michael buble who did a chirpy cover, but the best was still the one by peter cincotti, which i heard over the radio:<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">none of my friends knew very much about my grandma, or "ah ma" as i call her, except that she had been ill and battling colorectal cancer for the past year. when she passed away last week, i specified that none of them needed to come to the wake, because i've never been comfortable with the idea of people coming together to mourn. people should always come together to celebrate - for happy reasons. nevertheless, unknowingly even to myself, she had played such an integral part in my life that i have been aching to pen these thoughts down, aching to share how great a person my ah ma had been. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">i spent part of my teens staying over at her place on days when i had to train at the swimming pool near her home. the image of a sunny side up with bread - my breakfast whenever i stay over, has been deeply etched in my mind and that's the one memory that kept floating back into my mind. i visited her every couple of days in the past year that she's was unwell and it has became sort of a routine which i now have to undo. it's an overwhelming feeling that strikes when it finally sinks in that this time it's really goodbye forever. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">bits and pieces of my daily life reminded me of her and i can only imagine how much more difficult it must be for my mother. my mum had been her closest kin, never failing to give her a at least a phone call every single day for as long as i can remember.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">during the wake, my mum commented that ah ma was her iron lady, encouraging her to continue working after her pregnancy, stressing the need to be financially independent. my mum was an adopted child, but she grew up a mighty fine lady indeed. and now, my mum is no doubt my iron lady through and through.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">i never understood why people liked video recordings (who actually sits down to watch a video clip of their last holiday anyway?), but i now realise that the impromptu video i'd made of my grandma and her sewing machine is probably the closest i can ever get to seeing her in person again. it's a funny 2min video of her animatedly comparing the prices of altering her own pants versus sending them to the tailor (we're talking about S$3 here), and i can't help but chuckle every time i watch it. a great way to remember her by!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
