Do you have a favorite bowl?  A bowl that you nestle up in your hands and joyfully spoon delicious food into your eager maw?  I do!Not only do I have a favorite bowl…it’s a locally made large flatish wooden bowl made from the deepest darkest walnut that I purchased at my favorite farm store, but I have  favorite spoons. Like the tarnished silver one with the slight hourglass bowl and rose embossed on the stem that I found at a thrift store.  Favorite knives.  Favorite copper drinking cups.  Favorite cloth napkins that I made from the left over curtain material in my first vintage pop-up trailer love, Shirley.  You get the picture.  Do you do that too?  Of course it helps that I LOVE to eat good food.  And let’s be honest, good is completely subjective and for me ONLY refers to the fact that it tastes good and brings joy to my senses!  Well, my guest today knows all about that and has been bringing sensual, delicious food into my home for years!  Food I joyfully eat in that favorite bowl.Nicki Sizemore is a three time cookbook author, writer and educator.  She writes and publishes the newsletter (and podcast) Mind, Body, Spirit, FOOD, where she explores the rituals, traditions, and cultural influences around food, and how they connect us to our minds, our bodies, our spirits, the earth, and our communities.And I am a fan.  I am.  The kind that gets a little tongue-tied!More about NickiNicki Sizemore is a writer, cookbook author and educator.  As a trained chef, she spent two decades in the food industry, working as a recipe developer, food stylist and producer.
