Lately I have been thinking about how my life and who I am as a person influences the food I make and the recipes I choose.
One of the realities about me is that I am blunt. I am not cruel or unkind, but I am honest to a large extent. I am not afraid to make people feel a little uncomfortable, if I have though through what I am going to say I typically have no regrets. I am not passive aggressive, for the most part how I treat you is how I will also talk about you when you are not there, the exceptions being sometimes I am just ridiculous and overtired, but when I am awake and alert my discussions to your face and behind your back will be the same. I like this because I do not have to pay attention to the lie or try to remember what I think or said. I can just be myself and I enjoy this thoroughly. When it comes to cooking I expect this same level of honesty from my food. I typically find that food that is pretending to be other food is not for me. I do not appreciate zucchini noodles. I love zucchini, but once it pretends it is a noodle I am no longer interested. I think mostly because there is no need to hide it in that fashion and in reality regular noodles are better noodles than zucchini. Many other substitutions and swaps I am not a fan of because I often feel like the original tastes better. I am constantly in search of taste and flavor and when it comes to food if you are trying to be something you are not the taste will suffer and lack. Honesty in all things, in life and in food. Have you noticed any trends that flow from life to food and back again?
