In the heart of the kitchen, a tale unfolds,
Where spices whisper secrets untold.
Flames embrace the cast iron stage,
As ingredients dance, freeing each page.

The sizzle of onions, a melody sweet,
Garlic joins in, making the rhythm complete.
Tomatoes burst with vibrant hue,
While basil weaves its fragrant cue.

The pot simmers, a bubbling song,
Herbs and broth, where they belong.
A pinch of salt, a dash of grace,
A culinary journey, a savory embrace.

As flavors mingle in harmonious blend,
The dish transforms, reaching its end.
A feast for senses, a banquet divine,
On the plate, art and taste align.
