The Good Wife Supper Club She knows my heart.....
"Angela Hirst* once told me that my cooking style was wholesome. When I made food, attention was paid to everything and it was lovingingly brought together and presented as a whole, beautiful dish. I have thought about that many times, when I reflect on why it is I cook. I don’t cook because I think I am the best or extrodinarily gifted. I cook because I am chasing after this ideal of what good food can mean – health, pleasure, connection to persons and seasons, culture, inspiration, etc, etc. I want all the beauty food can bring because life is hard sometimes. Like now, it’s hard. I worry about what I’m going to cook and I worry about life, and then I start cooking and it brings my focus to the pleasure of my simple tasks at hand – make soup, chop this, roast that, whip that over there. And then I am consumed in a world of comforting smells and satisfying bites, sharing with others, and it makes me feel whole."
