Vegan Improv #1 - Manifesto / Rules of the Game

I don't believe in recipes nor do I believe in making shopping lists. I believe in improvisation.
When in the supermarket I subscribe to a transcendental process of divination when making my grocery selections. When at home and the ingredients are there already there a similar though more impulsive approach should be taken to selection.

To be guided toward the right selection one must be always aware of the harmonic properties of flavour and colour (translated most accurately into musical terms) - the interplay and counterpoint and the 'bass' and the 'treble'. You want it to be listenable/edible but it must also carry the signature of the auteur and also display plainly and progress the defining particulars of one's singular culinary vision.

The meal exists. We have seen it already somewhere, some time, fully-formed, in some shadowed corner of time. We must brush the dirt from these visions and hone in on the wholesome end-product that awaits. We must go out upon these small yet significant limbs of destiny and have faith that the meal will be what it was always supposed to be.

This blog will record details of my improvisations, including improvements (additions or subtractions) I could have made in hindsight, the external factors that may have hindered or guided my hand in certain decisions, as well as an abundance of peripheral musings.

Disclaimer: There is no way you or I can be sure that I have not embellished these accounts.
