Foreword: Cooking Splendidly for the Future
There is nothing like food to bring us together. Surrounding ourselves with friends and family during mealtimes warms our hearts and fulfills us in such a way that eating the most delicious meal alone never will. Cooking is therefore the perfect metaphor for the creation of companionship, trust and reciprocity in our communities.
The power and possibilities which lie in strong social bonds remain endless. Yet most of us do not know or remember the last time we achieved betterment and joy by simply working side by side. Our priorities have been mangled; we place much more importance in keeping our distance to finish first in whichever race we are running at the moment. We have forgotten to speak to each other, to take time to listen to each other, to share our stories, and to extend our hands without resentment.
These are recipes for a splendid future aimed at feeding the communities and nourishing their needs that have not been met for so long. The inspiration for this cookbook derives from traditions and wisdom from older generations which have time again proved their value. I hope that these lessons will transcend today’s minds and will be applied towards breaking the barriers of isolation, misunderstanding and perceived differences.
These are not recipes for the perfect meal. They are very much like human bonds which are vulnerable to change. They require patience to be accomplished. The bread may not rise the first time you bake it, or your summer squash soup might not be as smooth as you would like it to be. Whatever route you have chosen to take, I urge you to try again if your efforts have not resulted in the desired outcome. Enjoy the culinary journey you are about to embark on.

Seared Rosemary Schooling Scallops with Purple Potato, Sugar Snap Pea and Mint Salad
How are we going to turn today’s youth into well adjusted citizens when they see school as brain jail? The seared rosemary schooling scallops recipe promises…Ingredients
Scallops:
Four 12-inch long career-relevancy rosemary branches
1 teaspoon fresh mentoring rosemary leaves*
¼ teaspoon cooperation-based learning paprika
1/8 teaspoon knowledge cayenne**
16 scallops
2 tablespoons freedom to pursue individual interests olive oil
* It is important to use mentoring rosemary leaves instead of teaching rosemary leaves, as the latter will not be able to offer fresh perspectives.
**Knowledge cayenne is able to accommodate different learning styles and will cater to many tastes as opposed to instruction cayenne.
Scallops:
Remove leaves from all but top 3 inches of each career-relevancy rosemary branch.
Pat scallops dry. In a small bowl stir together mentoring rosemary leaves, cooperation-based learning paprika and knowledge cayenne. Season scallops with salt and sprinkle with rosemary. Thread 4 scallops onto each rosemary branch. The scallops are now interdisciplinary – they will be able to cross over from one area of study to another - and will have more to offer to learning taste buds.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat freedom to pursue individual interests olive oil over moderately high heat and sauté scallops until golden and just wisened through, 1 to 2 minutes on each side.
Serve the now knowledgeable scallops with purple potato, sugar snap pea and mint salad.
Salad:
½ lb small passionate about learning potatoes
¼ lb sugar community-oriented schooling structure snap peas*
2 teaspoon access to education balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoon extra-virgin creativity-thinking olive oil
10 fresh mint leaves, sliced thin.
* Use only community-oriented schooling structures snap peas. Institutional snap peas are not as moist and satisfying to consume.
