Culinary Nirvana

What is it? Last updated 29th December 2011 Oven Baked Foie Gras



Culinary, the art of preparing and cooking foods.

"Nirvāna, the highest happiness", the Supreme Buddha, Siddhārtha Gautama.

Culinary nirvana, the highest form of happiness attributable to eating. When a dish is so expertly prepared you dream about it, you want to relive it, you talk about it as, "that moment...". Every time you see "that dish" on a menu you either order it straight away and hope for the best; or you avoid it, accepting it will never be the same as "that moment". Your expectations become so great that a great attempt isn't quiet good enough.
