Recipes for happiness. The diary of the eastern cook

My grandmother said that cooking is an opportunity to share my love, happiness. When she poured a baklava with honey syrup, she said in a whisper: “Let all those who have the bitterness of the heart exceeds sweetness, fate will change for the better.” When she sprinkled hot pilaf from Bulgur with thyme, she closed her eyes and continued: "Let this thyme bring peace there, who lost it." Food brings happiness only when it is prepared with a soul. This daily and, at first glance, the usual process is an additional chance for each of us to feel the real taste of life.
