Making and sharing food is one of the most fundamental things social we do. In sharing food, we strengthen social bonds which are utterly necessary for our survival and the development of our character. We also awaken memories of one of the most ancient satisfactions any of us have ever known: putting something satisfying in our mouth and belly. For these two profound reasons, sharing food is an archetypal experience.
The relationship between food and health has been understood a remarkably long time. It has taken almost as long for us to achieve a detailed, scientific understanding of this relationship.
I enjoy developing and sharing recipes that are more nutritious than the common versions (for example, see Mexican coffee). At the same time, I enjoy those that are simply delicious and pleasurable (see Whole wheat/almond flour thumbprint cookies!).
I do not yet have nutritional analyses for each recipe, but that is planned and will appear in the future.
