A medical crisis is bringing me much closer to a radical change, so experience from others are highly valued. Like you, I am academically trained, so suffer lack of proof badly, especially combined w. a profit motive. So thank you for asking who is talking. I feel like sharing some thoughts:I am danish, but lived in Japan for a long time and really value the classical approach there. The old ying and yang sign is inspirational to me. A little dark dot in the light shape and vice versa. To me this signifies some aha-truth. Never be a 100% anything. Ultimate taste adds a little of the opposite taste to reinforce the maintaste. In art a small portion of a complementary colour hightens any artwork. (I'm an arthistorian) A person who is 100% happy is a terrible companion, as is the perpetual moaner. As far as this intense relationship most foodies have with their food,myself included, I am inspired by the ideas above, but also, that the attitude (wop) "work in progress" is the healthiest for me. I stray into everything to try it out, and bow out if it doesn't leave me satiated on all the important levels. So concepts like "sinning" and "bad" is out of my equation. I LOVE cooking and foods, so my challenge really is how to combine healthy, lovely and delicious. Although all asian kitchens advocate food as medicine, they never forget the satiation of the senses, heart and mind. So something has to give, to attain this. Usually the 100% idea. What is gained is an expression of love, for want of a better word. Love of raw materials, processing, the cook and the diner, the sharing of a meal. Lively food in a live context. Hm. This is my first comment to anything on the net. Inspired by you. Happy I found your blog.<br />Kindly IsabelIsabelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6857949236160231898.post-3465233744581073292010-09-09T23:34:21.170-04:002010-09-09T23:34:21.170-04:00Raw Foods for Busy People is very practical.

I'd like to bulk up my quick recipe repertoire. Is Raw Foods for Busy People practical?Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14869547672471723013noreply@blogger.com
