We may love music and movies and everything else, but one art form that is both more necessary and less appreciated is the art of cooking.  Cooking quality food not only pleases our pallet, but it also provides basic nourishment to our body.

I had never really paid much attention to exquisite flavors and subtle differences in the quality of food until recently.  The last couple years, my wife has made me realize what a meal is capable of in terms of artistic platform and ability to cause enjoyment.  And there is an art to it.  Knowing which spices to put in a soup or which ingredients make up a Mediterranean salad are nuggets of wisdom I was completely unaware of until now.

So with my new discovery, I’m excited by the idea of what can be done artistically with food and flavor.  Are any of you cooks?  Are any of you skilled in preparing food?  Would any of you like to share your knowledge, abilities or secrets?
