Ingredients from all over the world

30 Days of Perception - Day 29 - Interdependence

Whenever I prepare a meal or eat a fruit. I think about which country grows that food, how it grows and in which season. How dependent we are on the elements necessary to produce our food like: the quality of the soil, the rain and the sunshine. Then there are the people who harvest our food and the markets that sell the fresh produce. I am certainly grateful for all these different stages and feel a connection to each step which allows me to cook a delicious tasting meal.

Just on one plate, I have pasta and Parmesan cheese from Italy, Chickpeas from Africa or Asia, Greek olives and vegetables from Switzerland and Spain. The basil topping comes from my own homegrown plant.

 

We are all interconnected and interdependent on each other.

The Italian pasta dish is called "Cinque Pi" (Five Ps)
