About Mr. Picky

His real name is Keith and he’s really not so picky.

At least, not any more.

When we started Global Table Adventure, the list of things Mr. Picky didn’t like was longer than the list of things he did like. All the foods you’d expect him to hate, he hated – mushrooms, pickles, beets, stinky cheeses, cabbage, and tomatoes.

His Picky Eater Syndrome started at a young age – I have reports from his mother that he refused pizza and mashed potatoes for the better part of his childhood. Unfortunately, by the time he was a young adult, pizza and mashed potatoes were regular staples. As for fresh veggies? Nowhere in sight. In fact, when I met him he didn’t even know what eggplant was and he had never had fresh spinach.

 

So what role does Keith play in this Adventure? 

1. Videographer/Editor

Keith films and edits “Ava’s Corner,” her weekly video tasting shown on Mondays. He’s good at it! ( baby holding a light saber, anyone?).

2. He’s a great sport.

Keith tries all the food at least once. He has learned to discuss what he’s experiencing as he eats it. He now has fun analyzing flavors and textures. Today Keith looks at food as an Adventure, not an attack.

3. Photo Editor

Keith used to share photography duty with me. In fact, for several months I didn’t even pick up a camera (during most of the “C” countries). Today, while I take care of 99% of the photography, he graciously edits our photos. Thanks, Keith!

 

Thank you for following our Adventure, where I cook a meal from every country in the world, A-Z! Many smiles to you and your family. Love, Sasha

    Good for Mr. Picky! Trying new things is a good thing to do in all areas of life. I was just curious how Mr. Picky finds the time to take all the photos, let alone edit them. Do you cook and take photos all on the weekend?

      Jessica,

      In the evenings after Ava goes to bed is when I do the photo and video editing. Sasha is usually writing at that time so we’re usually sitting at the dining room table or on the couch with our laptops. Sasha sometimes refers to it as a “nerd party”.

      90% of the time meals are cooked and photos taken on Saturday.

    Dear Sasha and Kevin-

    I just heard your interview today on ‘Travel with Rick Steves’, and I have to say I was just blown away by the ‘stovetop travel’ (you should totally copyright that phrase, BTW:) concept of your website. What an amazing, delicious, and innovative way to break out of your geographical limitations, and still travel the world;)

    Congratulations and happy noshing!!
