“If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.”
? J.R.R. Tolkien

It seems as though people have become disconnected from food. It’s either a need or an enemy, depending on how you feel about it. “What’s for dinner?” has become an anxiety inducing question for many folks. It doesn’t have to be a difficult subject.

Food is a universal language. We all have to eat to survive, but I’d rather eat to live.

Almost every holiday centers around food. I’ve known people to be planning their Thanksgiving and Christmas feasts half an hour after they’ve eaten the current one. Food is the thing we offer to people when they’re celebrating, hurting and every moment in between. It’s how we show love and care.
