We make healthy salads that you crave with the same passion with which you might pine for a french fry or a chocolate chip cookie!

Thus the one absolutely essential requirement for the art of cooking is a love for its raw materials: the shape and feel of eggs, the sniff of flour, or mint, or garlic, the marvelous form and shimmer of a mackerel, the marbled red texture of a cut of beef, the pale translucence of fresh lettuce, the concentric ellipses of a sliced onion, and the weight, warmth and resilience of flour-dusted dough under your fingers. —ALAN WATTS
