I know the cooking reference is just alliterative, but oddly enough, there really
is an Aikido cookbook... It's called
The Art of Blending, produced by North Bay Aikido. Mitsugi Saotome Sensei also talks extensively of cooking in
Aikido: Living by Design and has noted its meditative nature on numerous occasions. Hitohiro Saito Sensei is an accomplished and professionally-trained chef.
I, on the other hand, have only mastered the
eating waza...
