Garlic is the only author among vegetables--listen to its fresh pages turning

Your nose is studying the history of guileless, peasant genius

Olive oil is a shining, smooth challenge to atheism: taste it

Watch the parmesan make notes and add parsley punctuation

Do you feel tradition making the present more bearable for your mouth?
