Renaissance painter, Giuseppe Arcimboldo composed busts from vegetable forms, flowers and roughage. The works trigger to memory a childhood proverb, an idea that used to haunt me which is, "You are what you eat."
Upon unwrapping one of Mirth's newest objects, the Benriner Japanese Mandolin, I felt I needed it. The present grew distant as i shuffled through an archive of memories; memories in which i had the wrong kitchen utensil for the job and failed to achieve the perfect vegetable texture in my recipe.
To play off of Ariele's beautiful post from yesterday, here are three things you may want to consider:
1.There is something inherently creative and wonderful about transforming vegetables into anything else.
2. Including color in your diet is delicious and healthy.
3. Possessing the appropriate kitchen utensil for the job improves quality of life.
