The perfect myth

Nothing is perfect. Have you read a perfect story, heard a perfect song or watched a perfect movie ? But we like to believe that perfection exists in the culinary world populated by perfect pizzas , perfect roasts and other perfect dishes. A 'perfect' recipe does not exist. Perfection is a myth. Perfection signifies an end and would actually become boring. It is the constant quest for better taste that is enthralling about cooking.

Perfection is always user defined. What is perfect to you will not be so to me. If something like the 'perfect food' existed, why eat anything else ? In the quest for 'perfect' dishes take care not to miss out on the simple joy of cooking.
