“.....all the charming and beautiful things, from the Song of Songs, to bouillabaisse, and from the nine Beethoven symphonies to the Martini cocktail, have been given to humanity by men who, when the hour came, turned from tap water to something with colour in it, and more in it than mere oxygen and hydrogen.”
-- H.L. Mencken (1880-1956) American editor and critic.
I love a good recipe with a burst of colour in it! Don't you? I believe that half of our eating experience is done through our eyes! It's one thing to be good for you, but when it's good for you AND it looks beautiful, well, that's just a match made in Heaven!
