“樂趣導演！”當我問及Mijune Pak 她的專業時，她笑道。身兼博客，烹飪專家，飲食評論家，電視節目主持人，社交媒體大使，品牌合作者以及作家，的確很難用一個名稱來概括。她，本身就是一個品牌，美食，旅游和時尚生活是其核心。

我和Mijune 約在Sheraton Wall Centre，聊聊生活，時尚，當然還有美食，造型設計師Anita Lee 剛為她完成髮型和化妝，為稍後的一個活動做準備。一切都要從Mijune 2009 年開始寫博客Follow Me Foodie 説起。

當時她正在荷蘭進修，沉醉於歐洲的旅游和美食。“從歐洲回來后，我的姐妹鼓勵我寫博客，結果一發而不可收，在三年半時間内，每天寫出至少兩千五百字，完全是激情的迸發。”

之後又從博客向電視和電臺發展，在美食頻道Food Network 上嶄露頭角。而更大的突破則是四年前參與Top Chef Canada 節目，兩年後成爲的Iron Chef的評委之一。

當我問及Mijune 的動力源泉時，她說，”好奇心和學習。我喜歡瞭解食物背後的文化。我一直在關注日本飲食，以及現在比較流行的斯堪的納維亞和墨西哥的烹調，非常令人着迷。我們都需要食物來生存，與每個人都相關，對食物的好奇心讓我周游世界。”那麽有沒有些人生哲理可以分享？“永遠不要貪圖安逸，我一直謹記在心。

我總是堅持不懈，有種永不滿足的個性。當我實現某個願望時，總是在想，下一個目標是什麽？”她補充道，“我曾相信工作再努力都不爲過，但最近認識到其實還有另一種方式，那就是享受當下，努力工作的同時也可享受其過程。”Mijune 形容她的個人風格是創造某種效果的同時保持著古典的平衡。“我的風格比一般人要大膽一些，對我來説，永遠不會過火。”當問及適合她的風格時，她答道“擁有一個好的造型設計師！”

Mijune 和造型設計師Anita 開懷大笑。“旅行令人疲憊，有個造型設計團隊有幫助。他們瞭解你的風格，同時鼓勵你突破自我，保持新鮮感。
