Mutual Giving

Lucy in the Garden with Diamonds

Of all that I love of writing about food at Caramelize Life, topping the list is the opportunity for mutual giving.

When we began this venture of writing garden to table recipes from our heritage and kitchens, it was blissful in itself. Making life a little sweeter through cooking with family and friends is naturally full of joy.

The happy bonus is sharing with all our wonderful readers and fellow writers across the world!  The very nature of cooking blogs invites us to support one and other.

In giving our ideas, feedback and support to each other, everyone benefits.  Rather than competition, it is collaboration ~ active, mutual giving that leads us all towards more knowledge and happy success.

Sharing our knowledge and methods about food is as ancient as we people are. Rachelle and I are happy to have gleaned knowledge from our mothers, grandmothers and friends, and we’re purposefully sending out the secrets.

But in sharing with an extended network of food growers, chefs and producers, our joy and knowledge is multiplied more than we ever could have imagined.

Our connections as people are within the food we eat, and the way we feed our bodies creates our lives.  So, as we at Caramelize Life share of heritage, food, family and community, we invite you to feel the joy.

Here’s to growing bountifully, cooking beautifully and making life sweeter together!

Love from our kitchen to yours!  Georgina @ Caramelize Life

    Great points Carmelize Life aka Georgina. Where can I get my grubby little paws on some of Mama Rachelle’s home made vanilla extract and limoncello?

    Does Carmelize Life have a Twitter handle?

    • Hi Joseph, not for the blog itself however, I do tweet, at RKWeymuller, and do caramelize life and glō massage therapy shout outs occasionally but not a ton. I could use a 101 on effective tweets ;-)

      cheers,
      Rachelle

      E.A is my husband and main photographer for the images you see on the site. I am a photographer in training! As for the Limoncello- it turned out great and I’ll be posting on that and the vanilla extract in the future, it is so fun to make and give.
