Cooking Philosophy

I agree that a lot of philosophy is highly speculative. Some of it is skeptical, and some downright absurd. Then there is the awe factor. Who are we listening to? What's the hype around whom we are listening to ? What the organization they belong to? Godmen and women have made preaching into a business.Cooking Philosophy, as I like to call it. A business of lifestyle. We have now speeches and philosophy written for them to preach, agents to publicize their charm, their social services, create groups.....has become a business. It is easy once we have that herd mentality working for you.

Speaking of which, I was highly impressed by this couple (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India/Indians_win_alternative_Nobel/articleshow/3553212.cms)If you decide to know what people really believe about the world, watch how they act. That is the absolute truth of their belief.

You can get a chance to study your own beliefs about the world by taking up cooking. Cooking is a marvelous art,craft with a little bit of science, which can only be accomplished successfully by the application of clear thinking, sometimes vague knowledge, some experience and a great deal of intuition. One thing is clear: when you slide a sizzler to the plate and taste it you realize what a profoundly good thing you’ve made, there is no doubt at all that you have mastered the art, science, and philosophy of interacting with reality. There is no other way to cook. Every experience is different. Each one is unique. Every comment is a variety.Irrespective of where they come from and how they react, it meets a common objective. Satisfy your hunger, fill your stomach!!! Is there a greater philosophy than this?
