The Art of Cooking

Anyone can cook,
but not many can make 
a meal worth savoring,
The act of mixing ingredients 
together in order to create
a sensation that is satisfying
to the palate,
requires skill and creativity,
sprinkled with love and imagination
creates a gastronomical sensation,
the art of cooking has the ability
to calm, nurture and entice,
always leaving a lasting impression.....
A well prepared meal can make any gathering go from so-so
to fantastico!
Cooking makes a cold space feel homely,
and it offers comfort to the lonely.

There is much to be said for being a great chef. Not only is the stomach supposed to be the way to a man's heart, but women who cook well seem to like hosting special gatherings of friends. Food brings people together and enhances social interaction. Great poem, Margaret! Love, Carolyn
