Unleash
Your Taste is about food and
it's about life. As an individual who cooks daily for people in a
rather unusual setting titles such as Chef are of little importance,
conversations with customers often meander and wander off onto varied
paths, even though food is at the centre of it all.
Today
with lives that are busy and somewhat stress laden, food seems to be
relegated to a necessity rather than a joy. So it is with renewed
pleasure that I provide a wide variety each day with samplings of
taste that put a sparkle in their eyes as the mouth closes and all
the senses begin to work in unison.
Here
in Unleash Your Taste the
goal is to be more than a catalogue of recipes, rather it is a place
for interaction and at times surprise. History will be revisited at
times to understand where we came from in our culinary development,
and maybe even predict where we may be going in the future.
As
someone who has cooked in a number of different countries I reached a
stage where the pleasure of cooking was lost. To me the joy of food
was overtaken with a stampede towards creating art on a plate rather
than the melding of taste and smell. Instead I worked on designing
gardens and in particular worked with natural stone. It was then an
opportunity out of pure chance that provided itself, to cook food in
the midst of public traffic in a supermarket. Here I am able to
provide the fragrance of spice, fresh herb and more each day.
Talking to people and building a connection has brought back the
immense pleasure of food home to me again.
Unleash
Your Taste aims to extend an
invitation to share more than a recipe. The need for food is common
to us all, as is the need for joy and laughter. Starve us of any of
these ingredients and we wither as the petals of a flower. Come and
share your experiences, your joys and thoughts.
