How to deal with Inspiration?

What I am seeing is that I am quite a spontaneously inspired chef. Even if I actually have a recipe I am always tweaking it and adding and changing things. I was doing a very exciting series with an awesome client. She had a lovely garden and an open heart and a radio show that she was producing. Enter me, The Chef and consultant. I created some of the most delicious and beautiful dishes during your work together. I was sooo inspired and supported and nurtured so like the artist that I am I flourished and our eyes and our palates were the benefactors.

So flash forward to now 2 years later, I am posting some of the lovely photos of the creations that were inspired during that time and someone sees the beauty-filled deliciousness and pops the question... “What is this?”

Crickets...

I'm thinking to myself, how do I answer this question because to me the answer is

It is a breath of fresh air

It is a kiss from my lips to yours

It is edible inspiration

It is Love

It is rays of sunshine on a plate

It is the best of me

and I know that the person that asked really is thinking

“No I mean how do you make it?” and “What is it made of?”

So in such instances I am still learning how to respond. I am learning to activate my vision and connect it with my memory to create receipts that people can follow to create deliciousness for themselves. This is one of the reasons that I Love teaching classes, because then the students can see the process and also help me record the process too. If you have any cool suggestions that I can use to help me write and cook while the muse is visiting me, I am open for suggestions. I have added pictures from some such inspirations. Let me know what you think, and share it with you analytical friends. Our palates will all benefit from the solution!
