Could the kitchen be the hand of the spirit?

It transforms the worlds into nourishment for the body and the spirit, and becomes the best way to connect the worlds.

The kitchen is an outstanding mediator!

Concrete, universal, sensual and sensory, awakening the senses, it establishes a link between man and nature, between the living and the dead, between yesterday and tomorrow, between the inside and the outside of oneself.

In reality, don't the ancestors guide our hands for the gestures of a recipe?

Don't they whisper in our ear the plants to adopt, the rituals to observe, the perfumes they like, the humility, the friendship and the gratitude of the worlds, one towards the other.
