Recipe is asana.
Not a formula but a genre to be explored. A pattern. What is the recipe trying to tell you? See it's wish. Craving is the intention; recipe is the implementation. Cook the craving. Recipe is complement of craving. Together like pieces of a puzzle, recipe is the bridge between wish and fulfillment.

Cook the moment.
Local foods ripen the moment we need them. What ingredients are available, already here? When wish meets them it becomes a recipe. Open the pantry, open your mind. The recipe not rigid; just a pattern, suggestion. Recreate with your imagination and materials at hand. Recipe is a bridge between wish and ingrediant, capture the moment in the garden that is now.
