A Passion That Endures

A few weeks ago, I flew to San Francisco to have dinner with old friends. We’re a group of foodies, and at this annual event, everyone gets a course, and creates something special. (Since I’m now an out-of-towner, I’m stuck bringing artisan bread.) As a kid, I was mostly indifferent to good cuisine, but nonetheless, absorbed the lessons well from my mother and grandmother. Even during lean times, I’ve had a well-stocked kitchen, with first-rate tools and raw materials. I take pleasure in every phase; shopping, prepping, hosting loved ones around my table. Cooking keeps me company.
