The Kitchen Goddess Manifesto
Do not cook if you are in a bad mood, lack the desire, or feel pressure from nagging obligation to another. Wise woman Brenda
Ueland once said, "Do not do anything you don't want to do." Frame
this mantra and hang it where you'll read it everyday. And remember-
-you can always go out, take out, or entice someone else to "put
out."
Keep your life full of the freshest ingredients and at least
once a week explore something completely new: A new recipe...a new
book...an unfamiliar song...a new quote for your journal...dance
outdoors...take a walk somewhere you have never been before...kiss a
baby...write to someone you admire and include a favourite
recipe...talk to someone who doesn't speak your language...
Delighten up and play with your cooking! Read the recipe--close
the book--then have fun! The more you play, the more you do what
you love to do, the more you reconnect with your talents and power.
Always sit down when you eat; share most of your meals if you
can.
Customize your creations and spice them with your own unique
hallmark of delicious mystery. As the saying goes, "Don't be the
best at what you do; be the only one who does what you do."
Take a deep breath and bless your kitchen before you cook; clean
up all rampant clutter, light a candle, open a window, turn on
music. When in the mood, pour your favourite drink, be it wine,
water, whiskey, or an ice-cold root beer in a frosted mug.
When recipes are given to you, save the original in the
handwriting of the person who shared the recipe; their energy and
intent will be immortalized every time you see their writing.
Create a beautiful binder of recipes in sheet protectors. If you
want to frolic and improvise, rewrite your new recipe on a page next
to the original.
Never, ever think that food will make you fat! Delete the
words "fat-free" and "sugar-free" from your culinary vocabulary and
replace them with "fear-free," "guilt-free," and "feel free! "
Always carry a nicely printed, personal best trademark trading
recipe with you wherever you go. Whenever you taste something that
sparks your spirit and your taste buds, ask for the recipe. Trade,
beg, or borrow--but get it.
Trust yourself. Add your own ingredients to this list.
