Lost In The Kitchen

ImageI am amazed at where my mind takes me as I work in the kitchen.  Our mind has  the ability to span years and miles, to remember good times lost.  The birth of my children come to mind, sometimes I remember when I first began working in a restaurant.  I remember the source of my culinary inspiration, Chef Leona Johnson, (Mom).  “Food, she would say, has a way of  bringing people together.”  It is not just the ingredients in a particular recipe, but a clear mind and a happy heart can help turn a meal into something very special.
