Baking is Poetry

Here is a poem I just jotted down in an effort to get back to food blogging again. I want to hear from my readers --- is baking a smell, a sight or sound? A memory?
Baking
It is patience
It is understanding
the
ebb
and
flow
ebb
and
flow
Of ingredients
Of Environmental factors
Of Environmental factors
It is flirting
with formulations
to achieve
the ultimate
in taste combination -
Whether
that result achieved
is
simplistic
or
quite complicated.
Baking is
the warmth of a stack oven
Of the freshly
de-panned product.
Baking is
Of the freshly
de-panned product.
Baking is
the satisfaction
Of creation.
Of the tears
Of creation.
Of the tears
which
well in their eyes
when a taste, a smell
invokes
memories
of home,
of home,
Of a loved one
that
has
passed on.
passed on.
Baking is
the alcoholic fumes
the alcoholic fumes
permeating
from a container
that
housed
housed
your starter -
your poolish -
your biga -
or
your mix.
Baking is intoxication.

I also experimented with a new add-on for GIMP called "Polar Inversion" - so I used it on the pic below. I think it encapsulates production quite well, you know, the total process seems full circle.

The post is really nice one and full of information we appreciate the kind of information you have provided in this post. The information are so useful for all of us and we would like to thank you from the bottom of our heart for this wonderful information.
Too delious and superb website about the recipes through baking, Thanks for giving this blog.
Love the poem, I feel the same about baking, it's so relaxing and can take you to another place entirely. Such a great escape from my day job!
To me baking means comfort and creativity. I have been baking since I was 11 years old. When I share my baked goods it is like sharing a piece of myself
Baking is passion for taste and flavors.
Nice Poem...you have done great job buddy
For me, baking is a cherished memory. It always brings back fond memories of baking with my dad as a child. I suppose it's also a smell, as that is what brings back the memories.
Love the poem.
It is very nice poem. Thanks for sharing
wow thank you
That's the way you should bake your cake, the poem is just fantastic, couldn't rhyme properly. Otherwise, beautiful post!
The poem is so inspiring, I remember when I was younger I lived half of my life in the kitchen with my mom and her oven along with her baking pans, we sing, we laugh and we taste together, and it was all full of fond memories with my Mom I will never forget in my whole life.
Nice one! I think you could always make up poems even from the simple things. I think baking has something unique in it that not everyone could see. This one reminds of the failures I had in baking while I was a kid, what a mess I made on that day.
Nice poem! I miss my mother she used to bake me when i was a little kid. When he bakes i always stay at the kitchen with her. She taught me how to bake but i have no interest. I just like to eat.
Quite interesting blog post. Your own web property is quickly turning out to be one of my favorites
Great picture. I have to try this Polar Inversion too.
For me baking and cooking in general is always experiment, often with an unexpected end :)
When it ends good it's a joy and a happiness. But when it ends not very good (I mean not tasty as I expected) I say to myself that it's still a healthy food and that next time I'll go better.
perfect.wonderfully written.very much useful.

I like cooking but I don't know how to bake because baking is very difficult for me. Thank you for sharing this poem.

Trippy picture. Feels like you are getting sucked down the baker's wormhole. For me, baking is the waiting part before the eating!
baking is experimenting...
Great poem.
Baking for me is a creative outlet and a way to relax. I love the process, the smell and the finished product. It is also a way to share what I love to do with others.
I love your baking poem! To me baking is the smell of the goods when they come out off the oven. The taste of warm baked goods (OK cake) fresh out of the oven is irreplaceable...

I love baking. Working from home means I end up on the computer all day but taking time out to bake for my wife when she gets home leaves me feeling relaxed and satisfied. Nothing quite like it!
I wish I was that good in baking and cooking stuff. You have got a lovely imagination and the use of symbols and metaphors for describing this simple process of baking are just awe-inspiring. Keep up the good work.

Really beautiful poem. I like cooking and make a cake. I spend a time to make cake in Kitchen when i am on holiday. This is interesting think. Thanks for sharing this wonderful thought.......
I really liked the poem of baking. Creative on. I am a poet, but never thought on making a poem on baking. Nice attempt with great result. :)
I love this poem. i love cooking and to me baking means comfort and creativity.
What a beautiful poem, food poems always make me want to bake.
The only forms of cooking that come close to the powerful memories baking evokes for me would be canning or slow simmering a stew.
I enjoyed the poem, and the picture came out wonderfully. I use PaintShop... I wonder if there is a similar plug-in for it.
Lovely poem, you are a natural
To me baking is getting the right combination of the ingredients, the other important aspect of baking is to decorate & make the food as beautiful as possible.
I have used Gimp for a while, but I haven't tried that technique. It's very striking. Thanks for the idea.
Thanks for that excellent work already is always better
Great picture. I have to try this Polar Inversion too. For me baking and cooking in general is always experiment, often with an unexpected end :).
Really a nice poem. Its really the creation of meditation. Thanks for sharing..
Great poem! Baking is so cathartic for me. If I have a stressful day I love coming home and cooking a tasty meal from scratch.
Baking is definitely a memory, how would you bake if you could not remember doing it?
amazing Poem i love it good job.
I love reading your composition on Bakery, very nice! Interesting photo too. Great job!
Baking is a smell that brings a memory with it - I am always reminded of baking at home as a child whenever I cook or see certain things (the latter always prompts me into rushing off too cook them!)
(sigh)...Baking! Oh how I wish I had more time to do what I love. The poem is great...and that picture..so cool! Thanks for the post!
Making something that not only looks great, but tastes even better is what it means to0 me.
Not patient nor punctual, and food tastes better when my mom cooks it. Hail to all bakers!
I'm glad to have visited your blog and good to know you! I find it interesting and informative. http://www.seotrafficspider.com/
Great poem you should try your luck with a bit of professional approach...best of luck :-)
nice poem...u know what the art of baking is the art of understanding temperatures and managing many things at different temperatures and different baking times ...needs experience and patience ...there are very few really good bakers in the world...
hay dear
best of all i like cooking and best cooker....
i make best finger chips i like finger fish.
inspriting poem! and nice foods there too :D
I really like your poem! Great job...
Baking is art, just like your wonderful poem. When passion like this is behind it, the work becomes effortless.
Baking is my passion! For me it's my stress reliever every weekends from hectic schedule from office. And of course I love doing it for my family!
I would like to thank you for the efforts you have made in writing this article. I really enjoyed reading it!
I never thought of baking in terms of flirting, but I guess one can see it that way. Whole cooking and baking process can be considered a poetry, as it is as creative.
I loved your poem on the art of baking. You really make me feel the experience of baking and what one goes through when the process is under formulation. I loved the polar inversion picture as well.
Great poem! To me it's mostly smell. Probably because it is the constant companion in the whole process: Making it, baking it and eating it. :) Of course the smell changes during the process, but that makes it all the more exciting. :)
I really appreciated by this article baking not a formality it is a art of food. every one ca not bake to food their is need of art, how to bake the food.
1st thing , A large thank you for you to open my eyes....
I would love to have more time for my baking :) Thanks for sharing your poem and that picture is just fantastic. I was staring at it for minutes haha.
Thanks again!
Elisabeth
Thanks
I have really enjoyed reading your blog post and I will certainly be back for more great content in the future. I have also bookmarked your site and will probably tweet about it tomorrow so thanks again.
Baking is--sight, smell, and memory for me. I remembered making my very first chocolate brownie, with a lot of help from my mom and a lot of mess, when I was little. The memory brought warm cozy feelings...it inspires me to bake more now.
baking is art, it is right! when I cooking something I feel that I creat, like poetry or picture.
Its a really interesting poem -:)
The poem is really great. Still if you want to become a chef you really need to be an artist, to play with flavors and give everyone that taste your food a mouth orgasm :)
I still don't understand how that photo is made?
I like cooking but I don't know how to bake because baking is very difficult for me. Thank you for sharing this poem.
For me baking means teaching values, maths, patience, all at the same time, to my children. Why? Because, first, we select a recipe together (be it cookies, cakes, whatever they choose) (this involves exchanging opinions, discussing), then we select and mix the ingredients (fractions, decision making), and finally we bake (patience, understanding that things take time, and more). Well, that's how I see baking, as a moment of sharing and education with my children. Great!
I like fruit very much.
I've recently discovered baking again after a few years. I did a pattiserie and desserts course in France and it gave me a new found enthusiasm for baking. I learnt 14 different desserts in a weekend and can't stop making the tart tatin - its delicious and my kids love it. Something so warming about baking and a lovely thing to do with your kids as well. Nice poem... thanks!
Baking is full of amazing childhood memories. Each time I smell chocolate chip cookies, lemon bars, or a cake, I can recall baking with my grandma.
I was able to relate to the fourth stanza of this poem. I usually have this experience of remembering a lot of things from the past just by the smell of related foods that have something to do with the experience. And to add my own perception about this topic, I think baking is a very good way to express ourselves, most especially the love that we have for the people we are cooking or baking for. Thank you very much for the post. :)
Well its a nice poem for me and it's very inspirational. Actually baking is the process of using food ingredients and formulas and at the same time it requires patience and creativity to produce excellent results.
This is very interesting and exciting poem.Very well representation of baking.According to me people love baked foods more.
Great job! The poem is very inspiring also.
Great poem. I loved so much so I decided to use it on my facebook page. thank you
Nice poem. For me baking is art,art of creation.
great poem!!! love baking but no time to do it :( thanks for sharing your thought.
Hi Amber..
I love the poem... the taste of the food that we are cooking may also reflect how we cooked those foods..
Great poem! What are written in the poem are all true. You can experience different emotions when you are baking and doing it really requires patience. Many would say that the output of what you have cooked depends on the emotions that you feel at the time that you are cooking and I would say that I agree to that.
I really love baking. Even when i was small, i was using a mini oven (good for warming up breads) and had little success into it. And i love it when i share my baked goodies. Its really appealing and pleasing to the heart.
thanks for the info and explanation provided
Wow! What a trippy picture. I use GIMP too and I wasn't aware of that plugin. It almost looks like it combines an image with a fractal. Very cool but it certainly didn't overshadow your writing. It's good to have a thing or two that you're passionate about. :D
Cheers!

"Baking is

Of creation."

Good cooking is like poetry. it has to flow into you.

Nice poem. Love it. I also miss my aunt who used to she used to bake me. I think baking is one of the best ways that help you relax.
Baking's equation: patiente+love+good ingredients.Thanks for this wonderful post!
Nice information about baking. I like your poetry.
Very Well Written ... I enjoyed reading it :)
Looking forward to see more interesting posts from you.. All the best..
Thanks
hey AMY please let me post this if you don't mind please please please.
Thank you very much for the poem and the polar inversion tip, which I'm eager to try on lots of pictures now. Can't wait…
That's a very sweet poem, i really loved it. Fabulous!!!
Baking to me is my grandmother filling the house with the amazing smell of sweet potato pie during the holidays. Baking is also burning chocolate chip cookies with my kids. Haha!
Very nice i really like this poem thanks for the post
I like the poem. Its content presents so much warmth and love. I personally like baking. For me it's really like poetry because you have the chance to put all your feelings in your cake or cookies. For me it's always a very special experience.
Nice poem..
The poem is really great, it's obvious how you really love baking and it's very cute.
wow...! Very nice poem and interesting poem. I love this poem so much. Please keep writing poems.

I like this poem. I will look forward for more poems.
This is the perfect blog for anyone who wants to know about this topic. You know so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I really would want...HaHa). You definitely put a new spin on a subject thats been written about for years. Great stuff, just great!
Great poem, and who would not love a great poem about food. We all LOVE food. It is so true about certain tastes and smells invoking memories. After eating all that food, I like having a few puffs on my t-rex electronic cigarette
Wonderful poem, great image!
For me baking is a sight and smell. Since I'm not really good in baking, I really appreciate those who knew how to bake. I appreciate also cakes and cookies. Those foods give me time to relax during my busy hours and makes me think of why I work (to provide food for my family and myself-to be satisfied with life). Anyway I also consider baking as memory, a nostalgia of good and bad memories with a friend of mine who I didn't see anymore at present. Whew!
thx for your blog. i love cooking...i love it.
The poetry is really nice, and shows your interest in baking. For me, baking is a tough time job, I have tried many times, but every time,I failed, so I decided to give up :(
The future... seems to me no unified dream but a mince pie, long in the baking, never quite done.
The future... seems to me no unified dream but a mince pie, long in the baking, never quite done.
thanks dude:)
i think that food is to use everyday .
For me baking is a way to come down from the stress of evcery day life. First make a well tasting cake with your own hand and then sit in front of the owen waiting for it to be done.
My Grilfriend likes to make cakes. Is this poem your own creation?
nice,,,,
Hi,I am Medyum.Very nice sharing. Thank you… Good information and good way your blog post. Good luck.
A very inspiring poem. I love baking. It has been like my life. Love the poem. Im so happy and touched by it. Great job. Love your blog.
Wow, what an awesome pic. How did you take it? What camera did you use?
I have to say that Baking definitely is patience!!! very theraputic though too!
All that and more. Lovely :)
The poem is so inspirational, I remember when I was younger I lived half his life in the kitchen with my mother and her oven with the baking pans, sing, laugh together and we taste, and it was all full of fond memories of my Mom will never forget the life.
This poem is very nice! :) Cooking is an art, we forget this too often :) It's my first visit on your blog, I find it very fun :)
Well i think baking requires a lot of punctuality and patience. Enjoyed your post a lot, thanks for passing this along here.
tentalizing is the word i'd use to describe baking,
it's sexy in in so many ways,
it's like a sexy girl grinding and shaking,
1 piece of chocolate cake,
and all your worries are out,
you're ready to battle another day, fight scream and shout.
Sorry, i know my poem isn't better than yours, but i still tried. Just my two slices!
You doing a great work for Peace! Keep this up.. You're appreciated!
Nice post and good poem... Thanks for sharing.

Nice. I'd also add that baking is a chemical reaction, but one with tasty results.
Never could suppress the science geek in me. Sorry! ;-)
Love the way you translate youtr passion in a beautiful poem. I grew up with my mother who loves baking as well. I justlet her read this poem and totally agree with your feelings. Thanks for sharing! :)
superb, nice poem. reminds us of our weekly Friday cake round where each member of the team has to bake a cafe (chocolate) and when the rounds is complete, we have to vote for the best cake and since we have different cultural background, each one has to bring something from their origin...great success.
Try teaching my girlfriend how to cook...
It takes a lot of patience to cook, and probably even more patience to write a poem about it...but nice post!
