Food is Art
Cooking is both art and science. As a science, the
kitchen becomes a laboratory, the setting for discoveries that work so
well they become classics, or fail so abysmally that they are lessons
in what to not do. As science, food becomes cuisine. Painters learn to
add a small amount of gray to a bright green apple to emphasize the shadowed
areas. Cooks learn to add a 'pinch' of a favorite spice to enhance flavor.
Scientists maintain the rigor of exactitude. Cooks weigh and measure to
produce a finished result that is consistent. AND THEN THE FUN BEGINS.
We decorate around food, making our tables beautiful, honoring community with flowers.
