The Simplicity Factor
February 14th, 2010
There is an opportunity in every ingredient used and in each step along the way to heighten or diminish flavor. Making informed and calculated decisions in the processes, preparations and presentations allows for the seemingly simple to magically appear. In order to express any given flavor at any given time we must look into what we are doing and why we are doing it.
The programmed answers intuition, inspiration and creative impulses are no longer adequate. Sure, at times it feels like we are just bringing ingredients together seamlessly as musicians do on stage. There is a feeling of wonderment when something comes together before our eyes that is just so simple. The simpler a dish or an experience feels the more work went into the stripping away of the excess to achieve the harmonious end.
