The joke is we\u2019ve never had to pay for baby sitting or day care for our three girls. When my wife went back to university and started working full time, 12 hour shifts, I was always home. I quickly learned to braid our daughters&#8217; hair.<\/p>\n<p>The past 2 years have seen me make a transition to something I\u2019m very passionate about \u2013 food and the culinary culture of the Caribbean. I anticipate that within the next 6 months I would be fully transformed into an internet chef.\u00a0 I worked from home when it was in its infancy and I think I\u2019m breaking new ground by being a full time internet chef.<\/p>\n<p>I chose Marketing Consulting as I was very intrigued by the newness of the internet back then. I still remember the screeching sounds from the modem connecting back in the day. The internet Chef thing came naturally and to be quite honest it does not feel like a JOB! So I\u2019m having a ton of fun. I\u2019m probably the only chef who cooks for over 1\/3 million people a month and they\u2019ve never tasted my food.<\/p>\n<p> <object width=\"400\" height=\"250\" data=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/Zwu60Rf8Kto\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\"><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/Zwu60Rf8Kto\" \/><\/object> <\/p>\n<p><strong>Socamom:<\/strong> Your fans probably speculate about what you do all day, but tell us, what is your typical day REALLY like?

The fact that I make my own schedule since I work from home, yet I\u2019m up at 5 am every morning, even weekends, as if I have a traditional 9 to 5 job.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll give you a glimpse into the first 4 hours of my day&#8230;\u00a0 start the computer and get freshened up while my tea steeps. While I enjoy my morning cup I scan through my websites, then the news sites and finally the social media fix. Then it would be time to drive my wife to work or go get her from a night shift. When I get back its time to wake our girls for school, which is always a battle, make them lunch and referee their daily fights for clothes (who took what from who). After driving them, it\u2019s time for another cup of tea, then work starts. If it\u2019s a day I\u2019m filming and documenting a recipe for the website, I take about an hour to plan out the recipe itself and how I\u2019ll stage the recording. Somewhere in there I find time to answer emails and touch base with my assistant who lives in the Philippines.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Socamom:<\/strong> So you have the job of fashion referee as well!

Not just doing a recipe with them, but taking them out to shop for ingredients. The shopping trip always include how to shop, so I explain how to touch, smell and \u2018look\u2019 at the ingredients\u2026 \u00a0at the same time consider how you\u2019ll prepare it. Which ingredient will complement each other and the shelf life of the ingredients so they know how long they have to get the dish prepared before the ingredient goes bad.\u00a0 Ingredients which may seem exotic and intimidating for most North Americans, our girls are very comfortable handling and choosing the perfect fruit or vegetable. Another game we play when we dine out (Caribbean type meals) is if something is not perfect, we get them to suggest to us how the dish could be improved or what is missing. They\u2019re very good at identifying flavours and can even spot errors when I cook [That doesn&#8217;t] happen too often.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also amazing to see when they can identify which region of the world has influenced the Caribbean dish we put together. So not only are they leaning about the foods of the Caribbean, the ingredients used, but the history of the dish itself.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Join us for part two of our chat with <a href=\"http:\/\/socamom.com\/w\/chris-de-la-rosa-of-caribbeanpotcom\/\"><strong>Chris<\/strong><\/a> De La Rosa of <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/caribbeanpot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CaribbeanPot.com<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/socamom.com\/w\/profiles-in-caribbean-parenting-chris-de-la-rosa-of-caribbeanpotcom-part-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a><\/strong>!<\/strong> In the meantime, check him out on his website, <a href=\"http:\/\/caribbeanpot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CaribbeanPot.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Social Media:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/obzokee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@obzokee on Twitter<\/a> |\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Caribbean-Pot\/160863714535\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"line-height: 1.3em;\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook | <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/caribbeanpot\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"line-height: 1.3em;\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>About <a href=\"http:\/\/socamom.com\/w\/chris-de-la-rosa-of-caribbeanpotcom\/\"><strong>Chris<\/strong><\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Chris De La Rosa\u2019s love of Caribbean cooking has taken him from a small village in Trinidad and Tobago to millions of kitchens around the world, thanks to his website CaribbeanPot.com.
