Picture Perfect ~ 'Cuisine'

The theme this week is

C U I S I N E

Cuisine (from French "cooking; culinary art; kitchen"; ultimately from Latin coquere, "to cook") is a specific set of cooking traditions and practices, often associated with a specific culture. It is often named after the region or place where its underlining culture is present. A cuisine is primarily influenced by the ingredients that are available locally or through trade. Religious food laws can also exercise a strong influence on cuisine.

A traditional cuisine is a coherent tradition of food preparation that rises from the daily lives and kitchens of a people over an extended period of time in a specific region of a country and which has notable distinctions from the cuisine of the country as a whole. Yes this is the first of several morning courses that I prepare within the morning as it does take time in the making. One has to nurture coffee or cafe au lait and then what comes next...maybe I may place another on upon my return this later. Cuisine is something that is an art. At 5 in the morning this is how I do get my start. Yet one has to know exactly the right ingredients to ensure that the tastes is good as they say in french - Cèst bon. It`s my own morning karma meal, you add 5% cream, a tad of honey, and let the grains of the beans rise to a temperature of hot! :). Then leave it to be and sit back and relax and get prepared to make the real course for the day. History illustrates that most of the best cooks within the world often started the first course behind in the kitchin with this very preperation. And the flavour is pending what you wish it to be. Thereafter followed by what comes after. Yes it`s simple yet its very enjoyable and has been prepared in most every country by many people each and every year. How I start my own cuisine is first with the preperation of this very concoction. It`s not that easy yet one or two cups and it`s a commencing of the day.
