Background
Edwin Glasmaker was born in Amsterdam, in the Netherlands, in 2335. He began work as a part-time cook when he was 16, working in the restaurant of his uncle Maarten. With replicator technology advancing through the 24th Century, Glasmaker saw his work as a professional cook move to the background in the Federation. Nevertheless, He pursued a career in cooking. He went to Le Cordon Bleu in France, where he had a culinary education, eventually graduating at the 'advanced cuisine' grade, earning the 'Diplôme de Cuisine'. He opened a professional restaurant in Amsterdam in 2367, simply called 'Old Cuisine'. He served traditional French and Dutch food there. He held the restaurant for nearly 30 years, before being noticed by Starfleet officers in 2395. He was offered a job aboard a Starfleet vessel to his choosing. He quickly choose the USS Montreal. He had met with several of the crew on the ship before, including Ensign Stennin, whom he had befriended and exchanged Vulcan recipes with. He was transferred to the Esperance in 2395 awaiting his transfer to the USS Montreal, and helped the catering service there. He gained a reputation for serving better food than most chefs onboard the stations. He also read up from the works of Neelix, a renown chef who had served on Voyager, and decided that Starfleet was indeed the best way to express his love for food.
In agreement with the Vulcan, and captain Mei'konda, he entered the USS Montreal in 2396, getting to work in the Tribble-B Lounge as the leading chef. He has been cooking for the crew onboard, and has gained a liking by several of them for his talents, which they say 'replicators simply cannot reproduce'. This includes dishes that require a high level of knowledge of the ingredients, like most meats that Edwin uses. These often include non-Terran varieties. He also emphasises the use of spices and herbs.
He is well versed in several cuisines, but is specialised in:
- French Haute Cuisine
- Italian Cuisine
- Dutch Keuken
- Vulcan Af'tum
He has an adversity for fast food, especially the American kitchen, and avoids the frying pan like the plague. He prefers real cooking, that takes some time, and is often working before dinner time to provide the best experience for his customers. He also has become adept in providing vegetarian supplements, which he has taken up for Stennin, who is a vegan. He enjoys cooking meat as much as baking vegan stew.
