博客來Each scent spread Olinda’s cooking nectar throughout the house, unforgettable and impossible to be confused with others, internally singular, all her own, an Olindian odor. It was the strongest fragrant sensation found anywhere in the world, which permeated the culinary desires of both family and guests. Each and every palate savored the texture, consistency, silken elasticity and flexibility, the colorful tenderness of every bite that transferred each eater from the dining room to a celestial sphere.
In Delightful Sensations all’ Are’Oli, Claudia Quackenbush establishes through the three main characters--Arely, Olinda, and Hugo--the concept that the culinary art creates historical and joyful memories and emotions when the dishes are being prepared and that these memories remain imbued in each human being. Because human beings not only create food but also coexist when cultivating the fruit and vegetables while cooking and savoring the food, regardless of the culture or society in question.
Quackenbush also presents three main topics--feeding the society in a (1) hypermetacognitive, (2) psychological, and (3) physical manner--which are all developed by Olinda, the professor; Arely, the psychologist; and Hugo, the agronomist engineer, respectively, while they are creating recipes. These characters become role models not just because of their interfamily love, union, and support but also because of new visions they propose according to their professions in order to improve their world, society, and themselves and to reach their human and hypermetacognitive vocations so ＂we can all reach and fulfill our spiritual and physical limits and growth.＂
