Culinary ART

I sent out 1 college application all or nothing when I was 18 years old to become an Architect. If I didn't land that dream, I was going to save up to attend culinary school. I have always loved cooking, baking, ingredient shopping.... creating the percfect combination of flavours, textures, colours in my head before actually cooking. My boyfriend calls it my brain tongue.

Though I never became a chef luckily my 1 application was successful, I still love everything about cooking well, perhaps minus how much ingredients cost. There is more to food than just cooking with it. We become nourished by it, it inspires design, the way we move about in the kitchen, how influenced we are by its scent, and how perfectly God has created every single ingredient that exists.

Food shapes the plates we eat off of, creates movement in the plan of our cooking area in a particular order, and creates the design of the the space in which we eat the food in. It's MARVELOUS!

The way that the food item looks, behaves, and feels is often just as - if not more- important than the way it tastes. Surprising? Take a look at this food diary.












And girls, don't forget to eat your white bread. There is nothing better than perfectly raised, freshly baked plain white bread.
