On Food and Cooking

The everyday alchemy of creating food for the body and the mind. This 17th century woodcut compares the alchemical (“ chymick”) work of the bee and the scholar, who transform nature’s raw materials into honey and knowledge. Whenever we cook we become practical chemists, drawing on the accumulated knowledge of generations, and transforming what the Earth offers us into more concentrated forms of pleasure and nourishment.
