Magic and Molasses

You might be thinking to yourself ‘Who is this?’ and ‘Magic in cooking?!’. I am a new writer! My name is Millicente Dyer and I have been cooking since I could remember. My mom would have me help her bake. Soon I started cooking meals for the family. Cooking has always been a form of community and expression for me. I love making people smile with a single bite!

Why magic?! Its always impressed me that you can turn a few ingredients into something savory or sweet. You can change people’s opinions and emotions with food. Give someone a special meal and they’ll be sent back into their childhood. Just watching the way the ingredients come together is magic. Simmer some strawberries in a pot and after a minute the magic pulls all the goodness into syrup with the natural sugars. With the proper temperatures and consistencies you can make stunning creations. Interactive and drop dead gorgeous foods. Anything is possible with a bit of skill (and let’s be real), luck.
