in the grand banquet of ecology, we serve a dish that begins with wary ingredients, a medley that pushes aside the conventional, predispositional flavors we're accustomed to. as a chef, i craft a report of tastes, each bite inviting you to start from scratch, to explore the garden of the natural world with a renewed palate. this cuisine requires a delicate balance, encouraging diners to be cautious yet open to the flourishing array of biodiversity.
