Gourmet food is like a magic potion - food alone can be a most powerful medicine
Each herb or spice has a particular taste, fragrance and its own "herbal personality". Creating the magic mixture of right components may make any additional ingredients obsolete - may be just a little salt - or if living near a truly clean ocean - a little fresh ocean water instead of salt!
Old magicians now that herbs and spices are magic medicine. Change body functions, heal illness, improve health, strengthen immune system, affect emotions and mind ... and finally touch the heart and soul of a beloved one.
The smell of gently cooking food with a variety of fresh spices and herbs already starts the magic action on the mood of the loved one to eat the herbal power enriched dishes.
