From Heads to Guts

Welcome to the Animated Kitchen, where we explore ideas old and new to feed ourselves

There are lots of song and prayer in my kind of cooking, as well as a very healthy dose of experimentation! The reclaiming and reinventing of passed down recipes and ancient food preparations are a way of connecting with our past and the past of the land that we live on. Completing that circle of nourishment, from land to hands to body to land is a deeply spiritual practice as well as a tasty one, and can honor the wholeness of the human, the land, and the agreements between the two of them. For us, every meal is celebration of the Life that sustains us, not the mere act of eating to sustain life :) We celebrate the beauty of this Land, Her generosity, and who She asks us to be in tending Her.
