ART SPACE & CREATIVE THINKING EXERCISE

This space is dedicated to food as an art form as well as an interactive creative thinking platform. A friend once commented that she wasn't good at coming up with recipes or pairing ingredients and unless you are the creative type it can be frustrating when you come home after work and just want to have a good meal quickly.  Inspired, I have created this section as an experimental page where you, the audience, can try your hand at basic recipe invention or to simply be inspired. Once the basics are learned you will see a pattern in how recipes are created, and then its all magic from there! I am fortunate enough to go to Union Square Greenmarket and most times, I show up with no recipes in mind. Instead, I let the produce inspire me. The pictures below are the ingredients I have bought on any given day. When I arrive home, I spread out my purchases on the table and create a recipe around them. I try to buy a range of vegetables and fruits so I have a good base to work with. Sometimes I buy a new ingredient I've never used and just say, fuck it I will find something to do with you!! As Julia Child said "in cooking, you have to have a what the hell attitude" so don't be afraid to try something new. You never know, it could be perfect. Happy cooking!
