Get to know AGBU MHS Chef, Caroline Krikorian
by Daniel Yacoubian
On inspiration to become a chef:
I have been cooking most of my life with my mother. As a young girl at the age of seven, I always enjoyed helping my mother in the kitchen. My mother was the first person to notice my passion and talent when it came to cooking and she always motivated me to follow my dreams. I decided to become a chef.
On being a chef at AGBU MHS:
I still work for other private organizations. I do other business such as food catering. I saw AGBU as an opportunity to come here and cook. I think this lunch system with the computer makes the line go by very fast. It makes it easier for everyone to keep track of past purchases and prices.
I really enjoy the students here. I enjoy being a chef at AGBU MHS. It's an honor serving the Armenian community. The students, faculty, and overall environment has made me feel like family. The feeling of being appreciated has made me love my job. I am glad every individual is satisfied with my work; I can't wait to share more with all of you!
On pastimes and the future:
I enjoy swimming and dancing on my free time. I also enjoy reading and spending time with family during off days. I am also working on an Armenian cook book full of great recipes passed down from generations. It will also have my own dishes I want to share with the Armenian community. I believe our culture's dishes are so rich in flavor and should be passed down to all upcoming generations in order to keep our Armenian identity.
Would you choose to live forever if you had the chance?
Interesting question!Yes, I would definitely want to live forever if I had the chance. Sometimes I feel life is way too short. Life is a beautiful gift regardless of any circumstances, and if you are surrounded by the right people who love and care for you, life becomes precious. I still feel 16 at heart!
