In short, here is my advice: cook.
We are all cooks, each in our own fashion.
Cooking is learned in the same way as we learn to speak, write, act, dance.
We observe, then we copy, then we interpret. As in learning a common language, we begin by imitating, then gradually develop our own way with words, our own style. Our interpretations differ even when we’re using identical ingredients. Your version of these menus, your variations and adaptations, will make them your own.
Plant a few pots of herbs to grow on your windowsill. Go to the market. Talk to a farmer. Spend a little time in the kitchen. Set the table, gather your friends, and eat hearty.
