MFK Fisher calls kitchen the throne room.
"Cooking, preparing food, involves far more than just creating a meal for family or friends: it has to do with keeping yourself intact" - Alice Waters, Chez Panisse Menu Cookbook.
My mom would ask my brother if he would eat in the evening. He would say 'not hungry'. Half an hour into her saturday movie broadcasted by the DD, he would announce his readiness to eat. Food is best had when cooked. Its not always that we are in the mood for cooking. It takes work to be the eager cook who pesters with a 'Shall I make pancakes now?'.
