In Bali, the cooks are considered the home doctors. If the cook has suffered loss, illness, or stress, they do not go into the kitchen as those energetic ingredients are not welcome. Someone else prepares the food, to allow time and space for the cook’s healing.
I share this as another practice I participate in. Sometimes dodging issues require soaking the garbanzo beans one day and cooking them on another. Once cooked, all other ingredients are added… peace, contentment, acceptance of life on life’s terms, in addition to turmeric, cumin, chili powder and cinnamon.
What is cooking in your kitchen? What is the state of the cook? Ki to Happiness cooks what the Doctor orders.
