I like meat, she likes fish

My friend sometimes asked me, "Dexter, why you choose food and nutrition as your major?" I would say, "Maybe because of my mom." I believe my mom is a genius in cooking, and I am sure she cooks better than most Micheli chefs. Maybe because of this, I have been a strong interest in food since childhood. As I continued to learn more about food and nutrition, I found that my mother's food was not always healthy or nutritional. But, WHO CARE? My mother's cooking is still my favorite food, and it's also the best way to relieve my stress.

As a nutrition professional, I have always believed that what you cook and eat represents who you are. So, in this series, I want to show you what I eat. This series contains two parts; the first part is the food my mom made for my family within a week. The second part is comparing the difference between the food I eat at home and social. I hope to use these photos to express the different attitudes towards life between my mom and me; more importantly, how a mother changed her food preference because of her son.
