There have been many studies on the different types of love languages. Probably the most notable are the 5 love languages which include acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time, words of affirmation, and physical touch. Whether you subscribe to one of these or not, I firmly believe at least one love language was overlooked. Food. Yes, food. Food has the ability to bring people together. It is a commonality that all walks of life share. One cannot survive without it.

So here we are. February, the month of love, is upon us yet again. Food has, is, and will always be closely associated with love. Aside from its crucial role of providing nutrients for life, food is also a symbol of care, devotion, and love. Whether it is celebrating a birthday with a beautiful cake, bringing a lasagna to a family who has just gone through tragedy, or simply making breakfast in the morning for a grandparent, we have said it time and time again, food is love.
Let it be known… I am not the only one who believes that food is love. In fact I am in good company!
