Sing a Salad

January 30, 2012 by antdina

Music comes to our ears from composers as a sequence of tones through instruments. Same could be said for the culinary arts. The artist of the kitchen delivers into conceptual reality a song as surely as the poet whispers a world into existence through words. Assuming that you are such a kitchen artist, how might the venerable salad act as a means of communication? First thing to realize is how dynamic this course has become.
