Silk Route Chef

My name is Jana and I’m the Silk Route Chef. This blog is my space for sharing my ideas, techniques and experiments in food with you and I hope you will share yours with me. I believe that we eat with all our senses and that food should not only be treated as sustenance, but as art as well. My choice of ingredients and presentation will, hopefully, reflect this. Food has also been used to strengthen social and familial bonds since the age of hunter-gatherers. It is important to me in this fast-paced, urban, individualistic age of electronic social networks to take a moment and utilize these same electronic media to share with everyone something that connects all of us as human beings in our most primal, vulnerable, communal and contented state: food.
