GASTRONOMY
by
FELIPE
Being a scout and doing theater helped me a lot in dealing with dyslexia, as these are activities that stimulate creativity and action, unlike orthodox teaching methods. But it was gastronomy that transformed my life; it was where I found my passion and my form of expression.
Mia Couto says that “cooking is not a service, it’s a way of loving others,” and I absolutely agree. Cooking is an art, a form of expression, poetry to be savored! Food is linked to memory, celebrations, and moments. It is gastronomy that keeps me creative and active and that has helped me overcome my difficulties.
