A recipe is likened to a personal expression of poetry/prose...
When shared with others, it extends a part of our innermost being...
For others to enjoy for years to come, not short lived like a rose.
A recipe takes on our individuality and culinary expression, talent and skill...
Brings to mind the likes/dislikes of family and friends, memories of special
gatherings...
Sharing a part of ourselves with others, making memories, spanning time our
"appetites" they fill.
