The power of knowledge

Man I love food. I love to cook it, share it, learn about it, just plain play with it. 


It is, I have heard, a more important, stronger urge than others that shall remain nameless to keep this a family blog, but you get what im saying. I guess I need food more, but I feel thats just a theory. 


Here are the facts, as far as my opinion sees it.
Cooking is fundamental to who we are as people, distinguishes us as individual cultures and can unify us as a global society in the simple fact that it is the lone facet of life we all have in common. As the wise man once said, "Hey, ya gotta eat!"

Eat indeed.

We love food, and food is so much more than the mere mechanical techniques involved (place in microwave and nuke to a soft glowing green). It can be that simple, but in my opinion, to truly grasp the social, biological, and even, dare I say, emotional conditions we enjoy about food, we should realize that food can be translated into terms explained, expounded and grown by all schools of human thought. Biology, math, chemistry, art, physics, agriculture, sociology, the list is endless, can all in some way be tied to food. That knowledge or search for it, takes the basics and grows them into the how, the when, the why and the wow of food. 


Curiosity, and questions, are the fuel that takes the ember of a passing fancy and creates from it, a burning passion, (not to be confused with a "burnin yearnin," for which I have no explanation) And passion is all you need to achieve exactly what you desire in the kitchen.
It is the thirst that I have for that knowledge that fuels my passion for food. The only thing more dear to me than cooking food, are the family and friends I cook it for.




Thank you for your time.
