Here’s an idea. Think about the ingredients for bread. Flour, water, yeast, maybe an egg, vigorous kneading, quiet rest and oven heat. Now imagine taking a baguette fresh from a hot hearth, holding it in a towel, breaking open its golden crusty shell, inhaling its fresh steamy aroma, and popping a small piece into your mouth to melt like cotton candy. The transformation of those separate ingredients into a delectable, sensual gourmet experience is a holistic event.
