| A CULINARY JOURNEY “From earth herbs, from herbs food, from food seed, from seed man. Man thus consists of the essence of food. From food are produced all creatures which dwell on earth. Then they live by food, and in the end they return to food. For food is the oldest of all beings, and therefore it is called panacea” (Taittiriya Upanishad) |
