Lesson 6 Find Your Passion

Da Vinci did not stop at cooking creative dishes.

He wanted to cook much more quickly and easily.

Thus, he invented new machines for his kitchen.

He created machines that could crush vegetables and pull spaghetti.

He even made a device that could scare frogs away from the water tank.

Surely, they were all very innovative, but most of them were too big or too difficult to use.

In 1495, Sforza asked da Vinci to make a grand painting, which was based on the last supper of Jesus, on the wall of a church in Milan.

Da Vinci gladly took on the project because he had always been interested in food.

He spent a lot of time cooking all kinds of food to decide what to put on the table in his picture.

“Da Vinci has wasted his time in the kitchen for over a year.

That’s the reason why he hasn’t finished the painting yet,” complained the people from the church to Sforza.

Although da Vinci never became a successful cook, he showed great interest in cooking throughout his life.

He was not only a great painter but also a creative cook.

Now that you know all about his secret passion for cooking, you will never look at The Last Supper the same way.
