Your cooking style is an edible social graph

I didn't really learn to cook from recipes. I learned from my mom & friends showing me how, from cooking shows, from all the chefs that let me experience their dishes, from that one 4-hr food tour I did in Greece. Every time I make something now, I'm thinking about someone or somewhere. My cooking style is just everyone I've ever shared a meal with and all the places I’ve eaten at, all mixed together.
