Healthy, But Where is the Joy?

It is a warm summer day in Bulgaria, my grandmother has prepared moussaka for our family: potatoes, vegetables, meat, oil, and creamy yogurt on top. A confluence of local, seasonal ingredients, culinary skill, and a recipe that, by this time, amounts to a family treasure. There are no questions from those around the table: no scrutiny of the ingredients; no angst over whether it was cardio-protective or ketogenic; no one asks if it is gluten-free.
