‎”Food is expression. It takes everything we have stirring within and translates into every provocative bite. Food is so much more than an ingredient on a plate. It’s our connection to something more, the flavors and culmination of texture and taste all swirling around in this incredibly playful dance – it is the seamless forum where every culture is represented. Food, in my opinion, is the connective tissue uniting humanity. It can pause war, engage conversation, provoke thought or sensuality, make you crave things you never imagined. Food is art. Beautiful, wonderful, nature-giving art.”
