There is something about a shared rustic meal that is comforting. The way you can walk into a home and immediately know someone has been working the in the kitchen to create a meal to share together. The was there is a familiarity in the old cast iron skillet, a faded recipe handed down over time, or a special treat that they have waiting just for you.
This to me is what the core of cooking is, sharing moments with one another. Yes, food and flavors have become a huge part of my life, along with everything that runs in correlation to that – from farming all the way to mass production in American foodways – but it will always be the meals, the ones I never photograph, the moments around a table with the persons who matter most to me, that will be the thing that fuels this why.
