“If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.”

Food is where we live. It tells the story of our day – chaotic, relaxed, exploring a new place, at the beach, on the back deck with friends and family. Food helps define our life experiences: vacations, family gatherings, travels, a rare night out away from the kids. It’s something we look forward to, hours (even days!) in advance.
A great meal touches the soul, pings on all the comfort sensors in our brains and bodies.
While essential to our health, it nourishes well beyond simply the functioning of our biology. The significance of food to the human experience transcends gender, culture, ethnicity, nation. Appreciation of a good meal – whether simple or complex – when it’s thoughtfully, lovingly prepared, is a vital component of being human and has the power to unite us.
Stepping out of our orbit of comfort to taste a new, foreign flavour on our tongue can be a marvelous adventure… without even leaving the neighbourhood.
That is the power of food: to expand our awareness, our consciousness; as it connects us to people and cultures seemingly so distant and unfamiliar, only to discover how much the same we are.
“To me, life without veal stock, pork fat, sausage, organ meat, demi-glace, or even stinky cheese is a life not worth living.” ~Anthony Bourdain
