During this period I spend my time on research and considering my ideas on forming of what would become What's Cooking International. It turned out to be an interesting period; discovering opportunities and personal growth. In the end it surprised me how much a person can learn if you are determined enough to reach your ultimate goal. In the mean time rediscovering the value of matching with concurring spirits that also aim for the ultimate goal: customer satisfaction.
