Creativity in Cooking: Part 2

Like I mentioned in a previous post, the art of cooking is diminishing as fast food become cheaper and more available. For instance, an apple pie that usually takes quite a bit of preparation can be bought at McDonald's for as little as $0.50.



But remember when apple pies were round and came with a beautiful lattice top? Well, I am currently in a cooking class and am creating beautiful dishes every week. This past week I was able to create an apple pie from scratch. I made the dough, sliced the apples, and carefully weaved pieces of dough to create a beautiful lattice top. It's amazing how much more you appreciate a homemade apple pie after you've done it yourself.
