Food for Thought

You’re walking past a bakery, a neighbor’s window, or a restaurant. A scent of something cooking wafts your way and suddenly you are transported. But to where? Stay with it a moment and you may recall your grandmother, or a stop along the way while traveling the world, or a lazy summer afternoon picnic. Suddenly the people, the places and the food are with you again, your emotions and senses alive to the memory. These stories are all about those magical times in our lives when food defined the moment. Share your food memories with us at info@theingredientfinder.com
