Summary

Your creativity is your gift to the world. 
 
Award-winning author Josephine Chia illustrates this in Ayam Buah Keluak and the Art of Writing, an account of her own emotional journey of becoming a writer. She believes that creativity is a portal to our inner strengths and talents, and can help us delve deeper into more meaningful experiences. 
 
Josephine shares the parallels between two of the things she loves most—cooking and writing. As a craft and art, each goes through similar processes of creation. Being a Peranakan, she shares her culture’s quintessential recipe, Ayam Buah Keluak, as a metaphor for her philosophy. 
 
In this heartbreaking memoir, Josephine bares her soul so that others who are experiencing what she had gone through, will take steps to uplift, and even save, themselves. This book is her gift to them. 
 
An inspiring read for anyone looking to delve deeper into living fully and creatively.

    Research involving goats, sheep, and cattle indicates that animals have an instinctual ability to select foods that provide essential vitamins and nutrients. Throughout history, humans have exhibited similar tendencies. Studies on various groups, including children, sailors, and pregnant women, have shown that people naturally gravitate towards foods containing compounds necessary for preventing diseases like rickets and scurvy. 
      
     The human body craves essential nutrients. In the past, nutrients and flavor were closely intertwined. However, modern food processing has detached flavor from its nutritional value. Artificial flavorings, concocted in laboratories to satisfy emotional cravings, contribute to cognitive and emotional deception. These synthetic flavors disrupt the natural connection between flavors and nutrients, leading to confusion about the nutritional content of foods. 
      
     Despite the prevalence of synthetic flavorings, it is still possible to prepare delicious meals using natural ingredients. Contemporary growers can produce foods bred for both flavor and yield, such as poultry from the Buckeye Recovery Project and tomatoes from Garden Gem varieties. With increased demand and careful cultivation, these nutrient-rich and flavorful foods can become accessible to all consumers.
