Sharing of One's Passion...

A little glimpse of a moment in time of cooking from the heart. A pixel of passion and pleasure. A gesture of kindness and gratitude from one foodie to another. Here is the still(or not so still) life living in the now as the food crafted and created for some special folks was unveiled before them. To share of one's passion is a special thing, and one that is paralleled by only a few. I have shared my heart and soul with many, on one level or another, at one time or another and for one cause or another. Yet still, only some really scratches the surface. I delve deep when it comes to those that I feel truly appreciate the work, the flavor, the taste and the passion it takes. Here is a collection of tastes that are for some truly special peeps...
