Ode to Cookers

Bite into this carrot, it has been roasting in the oven for an hour,
Its flavor has intensified, the sugars turned to a caramel glaze.
I am in carrot heaven.

Savor this beef; it will melt on your tongue, so tender.
The red wine has melded with the garlic and the herbs,
It is a rustic sauce of perfection.

Sink your teeth into the earthy skin of this baked potato
Allow your self the pleasure of devouring the fluffy white flesh
With the melted butter, and fill your soul with comfort.

Smell the warm bread and delight in every bite,
It took the time to rise for you and it’s grand finale 
Upon leaving the oven deserves a standing ovation.

Have you ever tasted a peach when it has been grilled?
It’s warm flesh melting the ice cream below,
It’s partner in crime; a raspberry sauce once sour,
Is now sweet as nectar from being swirled around a pot over fire.

Fire is older than the blender; heat it up, cook it, roast it, grill it,
And enjoy it.
