To reveal what one is thinking can be profound, exciting and invigorating. It can be sad, hurtful, and painful too. When one cooks, he or she reveals and discloses much to do about oneself. It is so personal, special and inviting and full of character. It is thoughtful, generous, heartfelt and a gesture of goodness. A distinction of amazing identity. Even love. I have experienced all of it, the good, the bad and the ugly. Sure there are times that when we as professionals cook and do what we do for the job... for business... and for profitability! However...it is often that we share of ourselves from deep within and give because that is what we do and even who we are. Here lies before you a revelation of culinary philosophy, taste and flavor for some pretty cool folks celebrating two special birthdays, who truly love good food. I can only hope that I am always able to share my creations with those who appreciate it as much as I do. I look forward to my next revelation with that in which I cook and for whom I cook for. Until then...
