“Recipes can tell a story. Some ingredients, like emotions, we keep tucked inside to protect ourselves, holding on to something we consider precious, vulnerable, hurtful.” Mum taps her chest near her heart. “Not everyone is like that, though. Others want to share all their recipes. They’re giving, kind, generous people, who love openly, love hard, and it makes them equally precious but no less vulnerable. It’s all a metaphor for how we love. Some give freely of their ingredients. Of their recipes. Of themselves.”
