Food has the power to not only nourish us, but feed our souls. We share meals with family and friends. We come together as communities through neighborhood potlucks. Think of any important function or event and there is always food to celebrate, sustain and connect us. The power of food to bring us together goes back centuries. It is like a common language when we sit at the table with others who don't speak our own. The power of food is marvelous and everyone, no matter your skill level or experience, can contribute. Food welcomes, food brings smiles. I think the world could always use more of this.
