Tastes Likes Comfort

What is it about food? A simple bite can cause your thoughts to whisk you away from the time and place you happen to be, something so subtle yet so powerful all in the same instance. You're brought to an location within yourself where nothing matters but the taste, the memories and feelings it provides. The most beautiful part about this is you're not limited to simply one occurrence..... anything you eat can cause a sort of bond with life past, almost like as long as you can have that taste the moment will always be there.

There is comfort food because food is comfort. I'm trying to re-develop my priorities when it comes to how I cook. I used to cook simply to impress a taste for adventure, now I'm more focused on pleasing one's heart as well as their palate. Food is art, yes.... but it should become so because how it makes you feel, not just the colours and pretty arrangement on a plate.

Don't lose yourself or you'll lose what food should really be about..... the comforting taste.

Taste brings back powerful memories, some good, some not so. Memories are a large part of your individuality, it's good to see you remember.
