Cooking is an art form. Go Slow With Food

Cooking is an art form.

I was doing some research and stumbled on this quote 

"Cooking is an art form; the beauty of artistic expression exuded in a masterfully crafted quiche parallels that of any painting or sculpture. "

It's really a nice way to think about someone who prepares or cooks food. Creating art, akin to painting or sculpture.  Of course I am the first to admit that my meals can use a touch of artistic expression sometimes.   

Go Slow?  What's that?  A nice concept taken from the SlowFood movement  which we mostly are doing in our household

How To Go Slow
Plant a garden and grow your own food. (yes!)
Get cooking. (yes!)
Eat seasonally. (mostly yes!)
Buy local (mostly yes! we joined a csa this year)

Avoid genetically modified food.(yes!)

Buy organic.(yes!)
Pack a bag lunch.(yes!)
Conserve, compost and recycle.(yes!)
Eat together.(yes!)
Talk food politics.(we do that too!)
Drink from the tap(yes, but with filter!)
Try making things from scratch.(yes!)
