Food and cooking are among the richest subjects in the world. Every day of our lives, they preoccupy, delight, and refresh us. Food is not just some fuel we need to get us going toward higher things. Cooking is not a drudgery we put up with in order to get the fuel delivered. Rather, each is a heart’s astonishment. Both stop us dead in our tracks in wonder. Even more, they sit us down evening after evening, and in the company that forms around our dinner tables, they actually create our humanity.
Robert Farrar Capon, The Supper of the Lamb. Epigraph from Bread and Wine: A Love Letter to Life Around the Table with Recipes by Shauna Niequist.
