Kitchen Magic

Excerpt:

The kitchen is created from the resources of fire and water, the elements from

which all creation begins. Whether you’re stirring up a pot of gumbo, grilling

burgers over an open fire or baking a birthday cake, you are practicing alchemy—

the magical process of transformation, combination, and creation. Kitchen magic

is one of the most powerful magics of all. From here come smells that bring our

fondest memories rocketing back, flavors that soothe our spirits, and sights which

bring us back to safety and security in a twinkling. Best of all, the heart(h) of

your home brings people together to share their lives, their meals, and eat foods

created with love. Let’s look at the key elements of kitchen magic and make sure

you remember how powerful you really are.
