So it has been exactly one year to the day since my last posting. My world and life have changed dramatically in that time. Those of you who have read my articles in the past know of my love for food and for the belief that in all things culinary, there lies at the root of them things like tradition and family. In the year since I have written, many significant life events have occured to me, not the least of which was the passing of my dear mom. If you were to look and see what article was last posted on March 21, 2009 you will find that Mom featured significantly in that article.
Today, having taken the time to ponder over when I would return to writing, and what I would write about I came to the conclusion that I would first give a tribute to my mother, who not only inspired me in all things related to my love of food and cooking, but also inspired in me a love for God who created me and loved me as well. When I cook I think of her, and I like to think that the skills my hand possess are in large part due to what she taught me so long ago.
In future posts, you will read a lot about places I have eaten (wait til my next article when you will read about Pasha, Taste of Ethiopia and Smashburger), things I have cooked, (corned beef and cabbage anyone?) food items I have learned or read about (what exactly is a tagine?) or cookbooks I have acquired (Cookin with Coolio by Coolio and Live to Cook by my favorite chef in the world Michael Symon).
But for now, I share with you a video tribute I created shortly after Mom went home to be with the Lord. As you see it, remember that at the core of all food experiences there is love. I have always said that the closest thing to God's love here on earth is a mother's love. It was true with my mom, and as you will see I am the personal chef and foodie that I am very much so because of her...
As always, Eat with a passion, cook with your heart and remember...
Food is Love...

Sergio this is a beautiful article. I can cook but don't enjoy doing it so much. I do have some great memories of cooking with my family during the holidays which is pretty much the only time I cook. I'm gearing up and mentally preparing for Easter. Lol. You are a great writer and your passion for life is so evident in your writing. I look forward to enjoying many more articles and will be following your blogs. I would love to have your write for my magazine, I need a Food writer. Check it out at http://divineeloquence.bravehost.com. The new issue will be out tomorrow. Let me know what you think. Continue to be blessed in all you do.
What an awesome first blog of yours for me to read! The video and music... just great. Such a beautiful family you have. Words can not describe the love I felt while watching the video and for the most part -complete strangers! I look forward to reading more Food is Love that is to come!
