We look for beauty. We look for balance. We look for meaning. We look to be pleasured, satisfied.

Natural Cooking is at an analog pace, the pace of the elements, the pace of biology. The pace of gathering, cleaning, cutting. The pace of fire. When we step into this alchemy, it connects us with the profound pulse of life. The poetry of transmutation, the sound of nourishment, the anticipation of eating, perhaps one of our oldest memories.

The Way of Food is all of that: Biology and Nature, Culture and Evolution, Hunger and Nourishment, Ecstatic Satisfaction, Poetry, History, the Art of the Craft. And this Way is all of the influences on the path to nourishment. Food is our living history, our stories, our families, our celebrations, our comfort. In the intimacy of all of life, Food is centric to the love of our own bodies, our memories, our psyche.

Food says things for us that we can not say any other way. That is why so many people groan and breathe before they exclaim, it’s delicious. That’s why food is the most powerful way to shape our self care. That’s why food is so deeply personal, our choices living in our bodies for years, becoming our bones, our blood, our organs, our brains, our thoughts our consciousness. So when we embark to understand the magnificence of the Way of Food, we know that truly we are encountering ourselves, in plant or animal or fruit or grain form, we are encountering the drama of being human, the history of love, of war, of togetherness, of separation. We long for that in which we can find ourselves, satisfied, calm, sighing a breath of relief.

So the Way of Food is all of that, and recipes, poetry, musings and intelligence that comes from the devotional love to the craft of cooking and the honor of labor of nourishment. It is the unique pleasure of satisfaction when what is cooked meets the demand of desire. The moment the brain

registers love. The moment the body remembers it’s connection to the cosmos. The embodiment of pleasure.
