And now we can say what recipe is. Like music, great recipes speak to the soul, not just the palate. They are reductionist; without trimmings.
And they are alive; the ingredients going into the pot are a far cry from what comes out. There is some measure of alchemy in good cooking; life starts without expectations. And recipes like company-great food is only great when shared.

As a friend of mine once said, "I love to cook because every time I step into the kitchen I am a beginner." Exactly right. If you teach long enough, you eventually realize that you were the student all along.
And that, perhaps, is the definition of a recipe. It is moment of learning.
As the ingredients are being brought to life in the pot, we arise as well Something stirs our soul. We cook with our hearts.

… And so one asks, "What's a recipe?" We can start by saying what it is not. It's not just what's on the plate. It starts in collective memory. It has roots.
