Food is now considered an art. It takes thought, effort and a vision for a chef to create their cuisine. Sometimes they need to be inspired just like any other artist. The best part is that their masterpieces taste delicious.
My friend Tu made a gourmet chocolate cheesecake for someone’s birthday recently. It was amazing and when asked what intrigued her to make it she said, “She loves eating desserts.” Tu is always mixing something up in the oven. She says, “The interesting desserts always seem too expensive to buy at the store, so I give them a try at home.” Even though some ideas turn into a flop, Tu does not get discouraged. “As I say, as long as you put your heart into everything you do, you will be good at it.” It takes skill to not only bake the cheesecake to perfection, but also to have creative baking ideas.
Creativity is an art. It is an achievable skill through training. In anything, practice makes perfect, whether it is sports, painting, advertising or cooking. With time and patience, one becomes comfortable in their skill set where they can blend and match colors, words, ideas and flavors into a new creation. With this truth, what are you going to do in the world?
