ʻO Eddie Shepherd ka mea lanakila ʻana i ka makana he chef meaʻai meaʻai mai Manchester. Mahalo i kāna hana hou a hoʻokolohua i ka kuke ʻana, ua loaʻa iā ia ke poʻo inoa o "Heston Blumenthal Vegetarian Cuisine". No ke aha i hoʻololi ai kekahi kuki Pelekāne i ka meaʻai mea kanu a me ke ʻano o ka lilo ʻana i mea ʻai meaʻai i loko o kahi ʻoihana ʻoihana kahi o ka ʻiʻo ka mea nui. Ua haʻalele au i ka ʻiʻo i ka makahiki 21 i ke aʻo ʻana i ke akeakamai ma ke kulanui. ʻO ke aʻo ʻana i ke akeakamai i hoʻomaopopo iaʻu aia he "mea hewa" i ka ʻai ʻana i ka iʻa a me ka ʻiʻo. I ka wā mua, ʻaʻole ʻoluʻolu wau i ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻiʻo, no laila ua hana koke wau i kahi koho no ka vegetarianism. ʻAʻole wau i manaʻoʻiʻo ʻo kēia wale nō ke koho kūpono no kēlā me kēia kanaka a me nā mea āpau, ʻaʻole hoʻi au e hoʻokau i ka hōʻole ʻana i ka ʻiʻo ma luna o kekahi a puni. E mahalo i nā manaʻo o nā poʻe ʻē aʻe inā makemake ʻoe e mahalo ʻia kāu. No ka laʻana, ʻai kaʻu hoaaloha a me nā lālā ʻē aʻe o ka ʻohana i ka ʻiʻo, organik a mai nā mea hoʻolako hilinaʻi. Eia naʻe, manaʻo wau ʻaʻole kūpono kēia iaʻu, a no laila ke koho nei au i kaʻu koho ponoʻī. Pēlā nō, nui ka poʻe e hele i ka vegan, ʻaʻole wau i mākaukau i kēia manawa. Ke ho'āʻo nei au e hoʻopuka i nā huahana waiu e like me ke ʻano kūpono a me ke kino. Ma ke ala, me ka vegetarianism i hiki mai ai koʻu aloha i ka kuke ʻana. ʻO ka ʻimi ʻana i kahi mea e hoʻololi ai i ka ʻiʻo me ka hoʻololi ʻana i kāu meaʻai i ke kaulike a me ka ʻono i hoʻohui ʻia i ka hauʻoli a me ka hoihoi i ke kaʻina kuke. ʻOiaʻiʻo, manaʻo wau ʻo ia ka mea i hoʻonoho iaʻu ma ke ala o kahi chef makemake e hoʻāʻo me nā huahana a me nā ʻenehana culinary. He mea paʻakikī i kekahi manawa i ka wā i hoʻomaka mua ai au i kaʻu ʻoihana ma ke ʻano he chef. Eia naʻe, i koʻu ʻike, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā chef ʻaʻole i like me ka "anti-vegetarian" e like me ka mea i hōʻike pinepine ʻia ma ka media. Manaʻo wau ʻo 90% o nā mea kuke aʻu i hana ai ʻaʻohe pilikia me ka meaʻai meaʻai (ma ke ala, ʻo ia kekahi o nā mākau nui no kahi kuke maikaʻi). Ua hoʻomaka wau i kaʻu ʻoihana ma kahi hale ʻaina kahi i kuke ai lākou i ka ʻiʻo he nui (i kēlā manawa he mea ʻai meaʻai wau). ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole maʻalahi ia, akā ʻike maopopo wau makemake wau e lilo i chef, no laila pono wau e huli makapō i kekahi mau mea. Eia naʻe, ʻoiai ʻoiai e hana ana i loko o ia hale ʻaina, ua noho au me kaʻu meaʻai. ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, ma hope o kekahi mau hale "ʻiʻo", ua loaʻa iaʻu ka manawa e hana ai i kahi hale ʻaina vegan ma Glasgow (Scotland). ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, ua nele pinepine au i nā meaʻai waiu, akā i ka manawa like, ʻo ka kuke ʻana i nā kīʻaha mai nā mea kanu wale nō i lilo i mea paʻakikī noʻu iho. Makemake au e aʻo hou aku, e hoʻomaikaʻi i koʻu mau mākau, e hoʻomaka i ka hana ʻana i nā kīʻaha pūlima a hoʻonui i koʻu ʻano ponoʻī. Ma ka manawa like, ua aʻo au e pili ana i ka hoʻokūkū Chef of the Future a ua hoʻoholo wau e komo. ʻO ka hopena, ua lilo au i mea lanakila hui o ka hoʻokūkū, ua loaʻa iaʻu kahi haʻawina no ka lawe ʻana i kahi papa ʻoihana kuke. Ua wehe kēia i nā manawa hou noʻu: nā ʻike like ʻole, nā hāʻawi hana, a ma hope o ka hoʻi ʻana i koʻu kamaʻāina ʻo Manchester, kahi aʻu i loaʻa ai ka hana ma kahi hale ʻaina meaʻai hanohano. He mea pōʻino, akā ʻo ka manaʻo kuhihewa ʻo ka ʻai ʻole i ka ʻiʻo he palaka a ʻoluʻolu hoʻi. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole ʻoiaʻiʻo kēia. Hāʻawi kekahi o nā hale ʻaina maikaʻi loa o ka honua i kahi papa ʻaina meaʻai me ka papa kuhikuhi nui: he mea kupanaha inā hoʻomākaukau kā lākou chef i kahi mea maʻamau, a laila e hoʻohaʻahaʻa i ka mana o ke kula. Mai koʻu manaʻo, ʻaʻole i hoʻāʻo ka poʻe me kēia manaʻoʻiʻo e kuke i nā kīʻaha ʻono maikaʻi loa, e like me ka hana ʻana i kēia manawa ma nā hale ʻaina he nui. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ʻo ka manaʻo i ulu aʻe ma mua o nā makahiki he paʻakikī loa e hoʻololi. Pili loa ia i nā kūlana a me ke ʻano o koʻu ʻano. Aloha au i ka ʻĀina, ʻoi loa ka ʻai ʻĀina Hema no kona kala a me kona ʻono ʻokoʻa. Inā wau e kuke i ka pō, luhi, a laila he mea maʻalahi: pizza homemade a i ʻole Laksa (- maʻalahi, wikiwiki, ʻoluʻolu.
