More about Joshua:"I am a third generation chef.... my Grandfather cooked on a naval destroyer during WWII, and when I recently read one of his recipes, it began, "take 150 lbs of flour..."
My first memory of cooking in a kitchen was when I was in 3rd grade.... I was living with my mom in a "hippie" housing coop... one of the rules was that everyone takes a turn cooking. I insisted that it also applied to me.
That night I made Pizza and Chocolate Cake... I was told that I had to avoid white flour an...Expand for more
d sugar.... so my first meal included two substitutions.... whole wheat for white flour in the pizza, and honey instead of sugar in the cake.
The food was Edible... no one complained. Which for the 9 year old me was an unqualified success.
Of course, horror followed. I hadn't connected the dots. In that house the cook did the dishes.
I came of age in another kitchen. My mom graduated from hippie coop to a Meditation Ashram in Upstate NY. There I found an environment where the highest ideals were practiced. Cooking was nigh unto a religion here.
There was the saying, "Food is God" That being, food nourishes and sustains us, and in that power lies the power of God. Or so I was taught.
This was a rich environment, with visitors from all over the world volunteering in our kitchens as part of their stay in the Ashram. I got to see a Shinto Priest from a prominent family in Japan making bento lunch boxes for the Ashram kids to bring to school.... I got to work with a devotee from Naples who was a self-described pizza nazi (even though he cheated by putting baked potato in the dough) and who quietly swore under his breath in Italian at the inadequacy of American pizza ovens... and I got to see the mastery of a Chef from India with over 30 years of experience cooking in the US for the first time.".
