Taste treats like Grandma Tildy’s peach cobbler or Aunt Mildred’s chicken and dumplings always elicit inarticulate sounds of approval. But what makes a recipe that stands the test of time?

Add to that a variety of ingredients gathered on your life path and blend them into a stew that will satisfy the soul and fuel you through the days ahead. Today’s meandering offers some advice garnered from master soul chefs around the world.
