"Whenever we cook
for others,
we are making
a statement to them.
If what we prepare and present
to our family and guests
is attractive, tasty,
and health-supporting,
we are saying that we want them
to be well and happy,
to feel nurtured
and strengthened.
When we offer cuisine
that is made
of whole and natural ingredients,
we are saying
that we want them
to have all the energy they need
in order to make
every aspect of their lives richer.
We are saying
that we honor them."

-From May All Be Fed by John Robbins
