Carrot gnocchetti with mimolette & roast oxheart carrot
Carrot pulp 'crumble' with almond, warm spices, and tarragon
I love this picture not because the food was delicious and not because it encapsulates a great memory but because it's so effortlessly beautiful. The ingredient - so simple: carrots. The dish - so basic: pasta. The presentation - so natural: baby carrot sticks and garden flowers. And somehow it culminates into a vibrant orange garden laid so simply on a spotless white plate, accentuated only by a few greens.
It seems silly to say that food of all things (or a picture) can make me sit back and revel in the beauty of life - its sweetness and simplicity ... and can also make me wistful that life can't also be that simple. Why does it seem like life's happiness can be so easy yet so hard, so intense yet so fleeting? Food is consistent.
