Immersed in the smells of a market place. Taking in all of the sights and sounds. Walking with senses overwhelmed by colors, textures and flavors. Some people eat to live, but few live to eat. The quality of the food is often of greater importance than the quantity. Taking into account the essence of what you are making instead of the portion size presents value to life. In the market, the mind wanders putting combinations of food together. All things are robust and imagined. How will a small amount of fresh Spinach sprinkled on pasta change the flavor with a topping of each different type of cheese. What will Pepper do to this and how will Tomatoes affect that? These are questions that must be asked when learning to the joy of food, for pleasure is the essence of a healthy life. Thus ,learning to live to eat instead of eating to live is very important to a balanced existence.
