Without truth,
we cannot really create.
Even in cooking
the truth is important.
For example:
No point pretending the cream is fresh.
If it's sour, we work with sour cream... not fresh cream.
The same can be said for knowing which meats to stew for a long time.
Which meats that are good enough to eat rare off-the-grill.
The honest truth is hard to take.
But it's rewarding in the long run.
Knowing that sugar is sweet... allows you to sweeten with it whever you want a sweet balance.
Knowing that bacon is salty allows you to make something salty.
Truth Recipe No.1
----------------
Boiled asparagus
Fried bacon - Fry in some chili and thyme.
How:
Bunch up a few sticks of asparagus and then tie the bacon around it.
Use toothpick to hold the bacon in place.
Epilogue:
The asparagus is bland. Or at least bland-ish.
Bacon is honestly saltish and even smoky-ish.
And they both honestly will bring out the best of the other.
