The Art of Cooking

Cooking is an art form. As chefs we get the opportunity to be creative through the mixing and blending of flavors and ingredients to create a dish that is completely unique. For many, cooking is a way to express creativity, and gratitude For others, it is a meditative experience and a real opportunity to be present in the moment. Cooking is much like the art of painting. We start with an idea-a concept for a creation. We take out the required tools and and set up. We start to prepare our canvas. As we work with our tools new shapes form on the canvas-some planned and some improvised by the artist throughout the process. The process may be short, may be long, may require many stages, or may be only a single step. The artist knows when the piece is complete and will present the creation for consumption at a specific time/circumstance. Bon Appetit!
