Culinary Arts

The art of preperation, presentation
to entice and tempt
even the most reluctant
to open the senses,
open the soul,
open the emotions.
An art form as old as the earth
the art to manipulate
through the most innocent of areas
that leads strait to the heart-
the stomach.
The art, which combines
pure elemnts from the Earth herself,
combines the elemnts of earth and air and fire
to create that which is to be consumed
and is food for more than one kind of hunger
the creation which can ignite
new emotions, reveal passion,
uncover the heart
with the flame of the hearth.
The art to combine people-
with their own individual spice and flavor
with the simpelist of dishes
around the circle of the Table.
The art of combination
which utilizes all the senses-
the Earth's best combined with care
and time, hard work, precision,
and passion, love.
The earth's powers and cures tempered
to their fullest abilities.
The art whihc sings music and breathes fire
spicy and sweet, mellow and alive, and wild
Culinary arts- more than an art of food
but an art to reveal, to unite.
culinary arts - more than an art of the central chakra,
the abdomen,
but an art of the soul.
