« A recipe is a hundred recipes. | Main | Three spices to build a bouquet. »

A base, two to grace and some spices.


<= Previous | Next =>

Start a meal by choosing a base, two flavors to grace it, and a spice to highlight. Choose textures. Add oil, salt, sweetener. Then the bouquet. This is everything. Go and create.

Begin blindfolded
It does not matter how you begin. Close the eyes. Reach into the pantry and pull out a base and a spice. Breathe. Build from this foundation.

Layers of temperatures, textures and tastes
Layers hold the identity of tastes and feelings. The dance of combination and separation; when to stir and when to breathe.

Cook with oil, salt, sweetness and simplicity.
The three binders are oil, salt, and sweeteners. Every recipe will be delicious if you follow it.
