When I finished the course: "Food: a Cultural Culinary History" by Prof. Ken Albala, I learned so many things about food and its role in civilization that I started to see food with a different perspective.
"... sharing food is fundamentally satisfying; it's what makes us human: feeding, sustaining other people, giving them nourishment, taking your creative energy, letting it flow through something living and making it sustain us is the most valuable, rewarding thing you can do for others, it's the basis of all of our rituals."
