‘Food, in the end, in our own tradition, is something holy. It’s not about nutrients and calories. It’s about sharing. It’s about honesty. It’s about identity.’Louise Fresco Common meal can provide pleasure on many levels, not only for gourmets but also for connoisseurs of good art. Since the times of Baroque, a still nature is something more than an image of food and tableware which has to delight senses; it contains references to philosophy and theology behind the perfect composition, faithfully rendered details and realistic light effects. It is cliché to say that eating together is one of the most fundamental rituals which builds community. Having a meal together can be also a meditative practice, like Ludwig van Beethoven said ‘Only the pure in heart can make a good soup’.
