Recently a colleague asked how we grow spiritually. While we had different paths in many ways, one thing we agreed on was finding the spiritual in everyday life. Crazy as it may sound to those who do not like to cook or spend time in the kitchen, I have gained some important lessons spiritually from cooking. As I once heard someone say, “Food crafts your soul.” Many people I know buy cookbooks because of the recipes they contain. I collect them for the wisdom they contain. While the cookbook authors might not have intended to be departing spiritual information, their words often time strike a chord with me and bring me to a place of reflection about the quality and composition of life.
