I personally love the rustic aspects of a dish, more than that, the down home feeling and nostalgic sense of perfect clarity. For me it's the earthiness, solidity of flavors. The beauty in the holistic approach of food taking from the earth and creating a life in meal proportions playing creator is a heavenly bliss so to speak. It adds layers and layers of complexity. I admire the depth of Greek cuisine and there usage of flavors. It inspired me to make a roasted eggplant, asparagus , and mushroom risotto finished with a pan seared cod fillet with a caper and tomato tapenade. Absorbing that rustic sense, getting down the ingredients so close to the earth is purity of love in the simplistic form. Respect the ingredient and the culinary Gods will respect you!
