In some ways, food can be considered one of the earliest art forms. Cooking is a form of expression. It requires skill, attention, and intention. It’s thoughtful. Not only can you imagine the plate as your canvas and food as your medium, cooking is a cultural experience.

In the same way an actor interprets the lines in a play or a painter human emotions, a chef can combine their technical skills with their own unique twist to produce delectable dishes
