Today I would like to share my thoughts about what mostly drives me in my life. There are three areas that are very important in my life: love, food and nature. I can say there is a connection between them and this is what we called: sensuality.
I can definitely say I live with my senses. My sensitive nature enables me to perceive stimuli much more, which in my opinion makes my life more beautiful. Following Linda (2022) : "eating and appreciating food includes smelling, tasting, seeing, touching, and even hearing it. It's not just about putting food in the mouth; it's also about the sensation that eating provides". Another thing what I like to do is to surround myself with beauty and to look at something beautiful, moreover it terms of food it is photography of the art of plating.
One of the famous chef who is known from art-plating is Atsushi Tanaka, who is located in the heart of Paris city. His cuisine is light and it is influenced by European culinary techniques including French classicism. Also each dish on the tasting menu tells a unique narrative about its own culinary journey. According to the website of the restaurant: "Tanaka's creations are a poetic mix of tastes and colours. Served on plates made of charcoal, sprinkled with flowers and decorated with Hinoki (an infusion of milk and creamy cypress wood), they almost seem crazy. 16 years after he started working in his restaurant, Pierre Gagnaire describes Tanaka as the "Picasso of gastronomy".
I think I could implement some idea of his work to my cookbook. In his work he aims for perfection and beauty, and his images of food are wonderful. What I can see there is excellent play of colors and he is using simple but beautiful plates. Definitely I will think about it during my project work.
