"There's a transcendent effect some get when preparing a meal that you've poured your heart into. As you fill the bellies of those who you have prepared the meal for, thier souls release an abundance of love, which fills yours. THIS is Soul Food!

Soul Food is the epitome of making the absolute best of what you have, and sharing it with others. As long as you have the main ingredients. Start with a sprinkle of joy, a pinch of pride, add in some dignity, respect and homage. And of course the main ingredient...love."
