I appreciate the invitation to slow down and steep in such a sweet culinary tradition. I need to take some baby steps to even begin to approach this, but I'm intrigued by the challenge to engage deeply in a process. Did you see the 2023 film "The Taste of Things" with Juliette Binoche? The director really lingered on the cooking processes in a way I found so satisfying - much like the enjoyment I get from reading all the steps of a recipe like this. I imagine a kitchen in a stone farmhouse with the windows flung open and the scent of herbs baking in the sun all around.

You just described my ideal atmosphere....if only! Also, it should be noted that I first typed "artmosphere". Typo? I think not ;)
Can't wait to go to a museum or gallery and comment to a nearby stranger on the great artmosphere. I think you're on to something.
Elana---these look too delicious for words!! Your photos only enhance their appeal. Just wish I were trying them with you.
Thank you, Andrea! Love that you are reading :)
