Sumptuosity And Splendour

The ingredients that make a dish 

 could be of varied quality 

 the best be not the substance 

if one goes not by the standard .

 I know a woman who  is independent 

cooks  on not any recipe  as such 

 has her own way to process 

 measures not in spoons or in grams 

  just picks and mixes in the stuff

 her fingers be her own measure 

 salt she just sprinkles as she cooks 

 so does she adds spice and chilly 

 the way she wants and she likes 

 it is all in her  eyes and hands 

 no particular study nor any precise definition

 the final preparation is so delicious and mouth watery

provokes one to take again and again

 she does not teach or instruct

 as she does not possess any regular formula 

 it is the watchful eye that sees  and performs 

 it is the deft finger that executes  in strength

while the ladle clatters on the pans and pots 

 a sumptuosity   and splendour all too well seen.
