“everything is in its place”; it means far more than simply preparing a tray of diced shallots and garlic, assembling pots, preheating the oven, or setting up a medley of chopped herbs — it is one’s state of mind, one’s understanding that fosters a mirepoix of inspiration, efficiency, and trust.
While its use in the kitchen is undeniably vital, therein lies an exquisite philosophy meant to be embraced in all aspects of life and love.
With everything — and everyone — laid out in place, one will find the joy in daily rituals and seek comfort in the mundane.
