cooking – simpleimages2

what’s cooking

to grill
in an open pit
or in a closed barrel
but what’s in a name
or any other way
food will remain
as delicious

I learned to cook

to learn a language

100 dishes for a banquet

dessert to pair, to entice

choose, I will surround

your wine with a table,

fresh produce from local farmers

red tomatoes and herbs from my garden

umami will tingle your tastebuds

your palate will wonder, what mystery

come, in my kitchen you are my first

guest and interpreter.
