I tend to mean what I say: in life, generally; in recipes, certainly.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I do a lot of recipe creation. Translation: cooking tempting dishes that must be eaten.
With cooking, there's always the tangible and the intangible: that which is in the domain of sentiment, of the individual.
It is a common saying, and in everybody's mouth, that life is but a sojourn.
The strong desire to include every vital component of life instead of excluding part of them for the sake of too narrow and dogmatic an approach has characterized my whole life.
Food to me, in one word, is 'creativity' or 'expression.' It's simply, 'This is who I am at this point in time, and this is what I want to cook for you.'
I have a certain point of view, a certain way to plate food, certain ingredients that I like to use.
What a writer's message is is totally unimportant. Either he is agreeing with life by affirming, or he is saying life is just a bowl of wormwood.
As is the case with all good things in life - love, good manners, language, cooking - personal creativity is required only rarely.
Cooking and eating are among the most important ways we weave days into lives.
It is the food which you furnish to your mind that determines the whole character of your life.
