Passion

Food is passionate. But, it is a word that seems to get thrown around a lot in the industry, and seldom embraced. It is easy to think, that when you like something intitally, it is passion. Similar to romance, it is a new feeling on the inside and unmistakeable. But, what happens when those little feelings leave? Do you stay the course, or seek out the next fun new artistic feeling, become a painter or musician, perhaps. But the true passion pushes through the tough times, only to look back and admire the difficult times for their lessons. It seems that kitchen stories, from what I have heard, are all about the crash and burn. The sport NASCAR comes to mind, do you tell stories of how a car made a left turn two hundred times, or the one when flames and destruction were involved. On the next occasion, when passion becomes your mantra of conversation associated with food...have you crashed and burned? The best part is, you become better at cooking. Where there was once indecision, the mistakes have all ready been made and you can move onto thinking of the things that matter, making the food visually appealing and amazing to taste. Happy Eating Freinds.
