Food, in its simplest form, is an explanation that is inherently simple. It is nourishment. It is absolute to our life cycle and the cycle of living things that surround us. To feed another human, or humans, family, friends, guests, perfect strangers. Those in need and unable to see past their constant hunger and those seeking an experience with food and wine that transcends monetary logic—both are the same to me.

While it may not seem simple to fly above the horizon and see the whole picture, that is precisely how and where we find simplicity and perfection. We MUST accept everything exactly as it is, not how we want to perceive it. Then, and only then, can we, as humans, step in and be one with the living Universe, and then we can begin to keep it simple.

And that, my friends, is where we shall begin our journey.
