There are a lot of people out there that believe in the concept of real food. Food that is carefully bought or grown, prepared with love and savoured with patience and respect. How many of us sit at the table durng the week as a family to eat supper. Most of us are running between second language classes for the kids, karate, music, gym, etc. etc. etc. The fact is real food is real work, and dinning all together is sometimes more than a challenge..but hey its sooooo worth it.
How many memories do you have that are associated with the aromas and tastes of food. Think about it. Something your mom or dad used to make..your grandma always prepared just for you. Most of us that have these memories are very lucky. We have experienced from childhood the special effect food has on our lives.
But we do take food for granted in Western societies. We have such an abundance of ready made "food" that our taste buds will soon forget what real food tastes like...and of course we waste so much food and yes we all have in the back of our minds that there are people hungry..but do you know someone personally that has no food to eat. Can you put a name to this hunger, unfortunately I now can, and its extremely difficult for me to grasp how someone can spend days with no food. I am struggling for days to understand how we have let this happen, and more so what we can do to alleviate this.
Maybe if we all start respecting and appreciating the food we eat, we can teach our children to waste less.
We can put our minds and hearts together and find new and creative ways to feed the world.

The idea and especially the name "5senses" is great.
I already started "...sensing" the upcomming dishes...
