The Power of Cuisine

1

Robert Oliver Enterprises LLC To us - food mediates relationships, facilitates health, celebrates life and its achievements, defines identity, identifies culture and links us closely to the earth that gave birth to us. Therefore to offer our cuisine to the tourists who are visitors to our land -makes our hospitality to them more whole. In the modern world it of course includes the stimulation of our economy as more of tourists money is channeled to local farmers
