Night
Sky Pie
Lying
on the lawn and facing the clear night sky, I can feel the zephyr touching my
skin and see countless stars twinkling in the distance. I am at the Dolomites,
a mountain range located in northeastern Italy. It is hard to imagine that in
the middle of nowhere, there is this boutique hotel offering a soothing place
for relaxation and meditation.
Breathing
the cool, refreshing air of the midnight, I start to create a pie recipe in my
head. I am calling it the “Night Sky Pie of the Dolomites”. There is dark
chocolate, coffee powder, and nata de coco. A layer of dark chocolate will be
the base of the pie and an extra thin layer of coffee powder will be spread on
top of it, representing the dark sky. Small pieces of nata de coco will be
placed sporadically on the pie, symbolizing the twinkling stars. The bitterness
of dark chocolate and the sweet taste of nata de coca will neutralize each
other, creating a balanced flavor. This pie is a symbol of tranquility in the
dark night.
