"Even the most ordinary dish follows a satisfying arc of transformation, magically becoming something more than the sum of its ordinary parts. And I'm almost every dish, you can find, beside the culinary ingredients, the ingredients of a story: a beginning, a middle, and an end." Take bread for example, it's dry flour, and water & with the process of mixing, rising & baking, it becomes bread.
