“You, of course, are not I, and it must be from someplace in you, not me, that you serve. If you like symmetry, you must line things up.

Only remember what is plainly and always true: the act of serving fulfills itself.” CookingAuthenticityFulfillmentServicePlating Book:An Everlasting Meal: Cooking with Economy and Grace Source: An Everlasting Meal: Cooking with Economy and Grace
