Fine Cuisine with Art Infusion

"To cook is to create. And to create well...
is an act of integrity, and faith."

"The whole Mediterranean, the sculpture, the palms, the gold beads, the bearded heroes, the wine, the ideas, the ships, the moonlight, the winged gorgons, the
bronze men, the philosophers - all of it seems to rise in the sour, pungent taste
of these black olives between the teeth. A taste older than meat, older than wine.
A taste as old as cold water."
~ Lawrence Durrell
