Chef Dariush Rose:
As long as I remember, from the age of 9, I began to cook on those old cookers that had three wicks for my Grandma who was diabetic and couldn’t walk. Obviously I wasn’t a pro, but my Granny told me what to do step by step, when to add the appropriate spices, etc. Cooking has been an enjoyable activity for me ever since. Read more here.
