In the Kitchen

ang ིྀ 

There is something about the kitchen that invites intimacy. I suppose kitchens are a space for intimacy because I will touch with my hands the things that will go in your mouth; I will taste what you taste; I will work for you, or you will work for me. I will make this for you because I love you, because you need it, because you want it.

“i love you. i want us both to eat well”

There's no story to this essay; no moral either. Only a sort of plea to please notice the things about the people you love; only to please notice that you love them; only to please notice the small things that make up a life because they make up a life; and to enjoy them, while we have time.

loved it and happy to start new year with this heart warming stories

It was a lovely book. I bought it when I visited Arter’s bookshop. I really like some of the essays while a few of them were quite boring. I highly recommend the book though if you like to read personal essays, memoirs and narratives. Essays are mostly compiled around relationships with significant others and family, foods, and kitchen.
