ANDREW FORSTER is a chef in an

Italian restaurant in the north of England.

He makes delicious food - fish dishes, sauces, pasta, and desserts

- but he can't eat any of it. He has a fear of food . 'When I was 18
months old I stopped eating,' says Andrew, the 27-year-old chef at the
Sale Pepe Restaurant in County Durham . 'Doctors told my mother to give
me nothing to see what I would eat, but I only ate biscuits.'
He eats two packets of biscuits a day and sometimes some toast, some
crisps, and some cereal for breakfast. 'If I just think of eating other food, I
feel anxious, then I feel sick.'
Andrew trained for years to be a chef. 'I know exactly what foods go well
together. When I'm in my kitchen and I make something , I think 'Mmm! This
smells delicious!' I'd love to taste what I cook, but I can't,' he says. 'Other
chefs tell me if it needs more salt or more sugar.'
This fear makes life difficult for Andrew and his girlfriend, Caroline Lister.
'We can't go out for meals with friends,' she says. 'And we can't go to friends'
weddings either. Andrew would like to eat everything like other people, but it's
not possible.'
Andrew ~ppeared on a TV programme called Freaky Eaters. He is now getting
help from a psychologist and a food expert to help him try different foods .
Also on the programme was a man who only likes eating meat. Unfortunately, his
girlfriend is a vegetarian. He can't kiss her unless he brushes his teeth . Other people
include a man who doesn't like eating hot food, a woman who only likes eating
chips, and a boy who lives on iam sandwiches.
