Biography
Aaron comes from a family of restaurateurs and has been cooking professionally since his late teens, although his passion for cooking and experimentation began much earlier.
Though encouraged to pursue his studies as a chef, he had already embarked on a career as violinist and conductor, performing throughout Europe.
In the mid-nineties Aaron had a change of career and became an internet or “dotcom” evangelist. He worked for CNN in Europe, Asia, Middle East and later USA then returned to the UK to head up a new department at ITV.
He has been writing and blogging about food since the late 90s, starting with lapasta.com and has continued with contributions to many sites.
What I love best about Aaron's [blog] post, besides seeing the perfect looking duck breast, is that this cook is evaluating and thinking and fixing ... it's nice to see the thoughts and actions described because really that's the essence of cooking.
