The best things are the simplest, but only if they are absolutely perfect in their few essential elements.

When we try to make all complicated, too charged with decorations, sauces, excess of ingredients, it’s probably because the core is not worthy by itself.

Making something complicated in an average way is easier to make something simple in a perfect way.

Just grilled bread, garlic, tomatoes olive oil, pepper salt and basil, it’s apparently easy, isn’t it?

But if the bread is not the right one, if the tomatoes are not perfectly ripe, if the olive oil is not of first choice from a country where they know how to make it, if salt is just common one instead of “ fleur de sel”...and so on, so on, well the perfect simplicity fades into average mediocrity.

We have understood each other.

Now I have to dedicate the necessary attention to my “ bruschetta”.
