Molly Ruth: I love the life sustaining and hedonic qualities of food. I didn’t start studying the preparation of food until 2008, when I moved out of my mother’s home in a sprawling midwestern city and into my own home in a small town in northwestern Ohio. I quickly learned that if I wanted the international cuisines that I had grown accustomed to, I would have to learn how to make them myself. My ultimate goal is to find a sustainable path where pleasure and health are indistinguishable. At present, I still waiver back and forth, occasionally finding the joyful median. I also love people, story telling, traditions, music, research and flowers. All of which will be integrated into the collection of food related accounts I tell here. It was the writings of Isabel Allende that first taught me that one’s intentions during the preparation of food could impact the person receiving the food. Food can be powerful, sensual, and magical. For me the making of food is an act of caring. Caring for the self and other. In sharing the process of educating myself about food, preparing it, and serving it to others, I hope to encourage people to cook with the ones they love. I also welcome any feedback.
