A life dedicated to researching, writing, and delivering communication and leadership training to members of the traditional food trails tourism.
Throughout human history, it is the culinary artist who has expressed the essence of human experience. Within each artist’s mode or medium lies a true story of their culture and life experiences. When we taste the dishes of yesterday and today’s culinary explorers we are taken on a journey into the creative essence of those artists. Exactly the same emotions are aroused as if we read the writings of Homer, Shakespeare, and Wolf; study the paintings of Raphael, Da Vince, and Picasso; observe the sculptures of Donatello, Michelangelo, and Rodin.
We will all over time experience and explore a compilation of culinary expressions through multicultural, multidimensional, and multi-diverse culinary artists, whose common ground is their love of food. Our environmental, financial, educational, emotional, mental, and physical circumstances may be different, but at our core we are all the same. We laugh, we cry, we rejoice, we mourn, we suffer, we eat, we awaken, we sleep, we live, and we die.
What assists us all in living life more fully is the joy we receive in experiencing the culinary artistic expressions from our brothers and sisters around the world. Who doesn’t enjoy sneaking a taste of grandma’s favorite dessert, trying out mum’s latest innovation, visiting the local food markets, or going to their favorite restaurant to try that mouth-watering dish? We identify with the dishes, the restaurants, and even some of the ingredients. We find hope, courage, strength, and love. We laugh, we cry, and we experience redemption when our favorite dish is waiting in front of us on the table and slowly but surely able to tempt each and every one of our senses.
My life is dedicated to researching, writing, and educating others about traditional food trails. I enjoy combining the studies of Anthropology, Culture, Human Migration, Cuisine, and Tourism in order to better understand each and every dish, its ingredients, its origin, and how each dish exists in a symbiotic relationship with every other culinary delight originating, or currently existing in a given geographic region.
