Nourish the Body and the Spirit ~ Share Your Food

What is it about Instagram that makes everything instantly look delicious???

I take about as much pride in the presentation and posting of food as I do in the sourcing of my ingredients, in its preparation and ultimate savoury enjoyment. I'm an artist, and a believer that aesthetic beauty is just as relevant on my plate as it is on the canvas. Besides, by turning food preparation into an act of artful creation and bringing mindfulness to the domestic makes one more conscious. It's part of living in the moment and giving reverance for what we have.




I've heard that while some people like to post pictures of their food on social media, (myself for example), others find this practice annoying. To hell with them I say. The beauty of social media is you can pick and choose what interests you and filter the rest.



It's been said "you are what you eat".....and I want to be a healthy, colourful work of art. Following the spoils of the holidays I have begun exploring the nutritarian lifestyle; the concept of packing the highest amount of nutrients into every meal, while working to remove foods with empty calories.  Some follow the GBOMBS model of  greens, beans, onions, mushrooms, berries and seeds/nuts.
