Better a small serving of vegetables with love than a fattened calf with hatred.
Proverbs 15:17
Reading and Learning
Good meals at home satisfy emotional hungers as real as hunger in the belly, and nothing else does so in the same way. They promote affection and intimacy among those who share them. Characteristic, familial styles of cooking and dining, food that "taste like home,'' are central to each home's feeling of security and comfort and to its sense of self as a unique and valuable place. Cooking at home links your past and future and solidifies your sense of identity and place. When a home gives up its hearth, which in the modern world is its kitchen, it gives up its focus. (The word "focus" is Latin for "hearth.") And the people who live there lose theirs too.

One Last Quote
Cooking is at once child's play and adult joy. And cooking done with care is an act of love.
