| Cooking with Chef Carlin
 |
"I grew up with a grandmother who loved me
through her cooking. Her kitchen was always warm and comforting
and I was fascinated in observing her process of creating a
meal. As I grew older I started to notice how I felt as I ate
different foods. I began using my kitchen as my medicine cabinet,
concocting remedies for different states of imbalance. For instance,
when I feel a cold coming on I make a strong ginger tea spiked
with lemon and honey or a mild miso soup with vegetables when
my stomach is upset. |
I have come to recognize and embody the immense connection between
food and my own energy levels. How we eat affects everything; our
state of wellness, our sleep patterns, our energy levels and even
our moods. I love teaching people that food doesn't need to be complicated
to be nourishing and delicious."
