When cooking, we transfer our energy over to the food and that is why I consider the kitchen to be a sacred place, one of union and fellowship, where culture, knowledge and flavors are safeguarded and handed over. I find it important to use all our senses when we cook: sight, varying colors; smell, matching aromas; taste, joining different flavors; and audition, listening to the "sounds that touch and cheer our souls", rhythms that make our hearts dance, liberating our creations that come from our sixth sense, our intuition. Food nourishes ours souls.
