There is something about these exotic markets, the smell of rotten fish, and a coconut fresh from a palm tree. It doesn’t just immediately bring us back those holiday feelings where we don’t worry about anything in life and live in the moment. But it also brings back those explosions of flavor that happened in our mouth when trying again a new dish from a food stall.

It’s all about the food you might think sometimes. And I’m sure you’re right. But we need food to survive. Humans need food to live. And we need nutrients, vitamins, and cards to have the inspiration for mental work, be motivated, and have the energy to be physically active.

But food is more than just an essential piece of item. It is culture. It is traditions. And it is love. Many people forget the most important ingredient when cooking. They don’t pour love in their dishes and wonder why they taste so bland.
