THEN I SAW THE CONGO, CREEPING THROUGH THE BLACK,
CUTTING THROUGH THE FOREST WITH A GOLDEN TRACK.

A negro fairyland swung into view,
A minstrel river
Where dreams come true.
The ebony palace soared on high
Through the blossoming trees to the evening sky.
The inlaid porches and casements shone
With gold and ivory and elephant-bone.
And the black crowd laughed till their sides were sore
At the baboon butler in the agate door,
And the well-known tunes of the parrot band
That trilled on the bushes of that magic land.

from "The Congo and Other Poems" (1914) by Nicholas Vachel Lindsay

culinary art or culinary science?

We asked Ilario Vinciguerra and the answer easily came along... "both art and science! A mixture of heart, brain and technical skills to make up a sincere, appassionate and tempting cuisine" ...undoubtedly attractive and striking in colors and flavours!
