\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ETo cut a very long story short, I had a go with Dorothy while I was in USA and today I want to tell you the story of the amazing person which whom I had the honor of sharing the kitchen with, during \u003Cbr \/\u003Ethe time I was in Chicago. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EMy new kitchen partner is Dennis;\u0026nbsp; a 69 years young Illinois man with a truly inspirational story.\u0026nbsp; Years ago Denis battled against a throat cancer and won - it was a long and painful journey but he manage to kick cancer's ass and now he is fifteen years in remission. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EUnfortunately the radiation treatment left bad scars and just a few years after the treatment he started having problems swallowing - his throat and tongue were atrophying due to the treatment.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Eventually Dennis lost completely his capacity of eating and the doctors had to insert a feeding tube to his stomach.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; He would live but would never taste anything again. \u0026nbsp;

I have absolutely no intention of using his story as a moral example to make you feel bad about how lucky you are for being healthy. \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; What makes me a big fan of Dennis is his immense generosity. \u0026nbsp;

and here is how Dennis found another way of enjoying it:\u0026nbsp; instead of feeling sorry for himself this amazing man decided to learn how to cook. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EDennis takes cooking very seriously, he is always keen to learn and searching for new recipes. \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; Preparing super delicious meals to his family became his unique way of enjoying food. \u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp; He finds pleasure simply in sharing his culinary creations with people he loves and watching them enjoying it.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EGhandi once said\"\u0026nbsp;
