Cooking is truly an act of love - Encore Papa

Hi there Nanooka (from the north)

What do you do when the man in your  kitchen cooks a better than my average meal? 

 Answer - enjoy!  And stay out of the kitchen. 
 A monthly Mosman magazine, delivered free,  a good read, glossy ads of what's available, where to go, a few recipes etc.  When I returned from tutoring, it was opened at Pork with prunes, sage, sauteed apples and hazelnuts with G in process.  And this was a man whose previous inspiration was carrots and beans, spag bol,  with the occasional Microwave Miracle. (Can't leave out the Stuffed Mushrooms for breakfast during courting days)

And from an expert chef - From 'Wisdom' by Andrew Zucherman - 'Love'
"Cooking is truly an act of love".....Jacques Pepin.  .  He moves on to say "Cook with love.  Sit down around the table and share food with your children and your family.  ....... You always communicate through cooking.  You cannot cook indifferently, otherwise the food won't come across the right way. 

There is a great deal of love which goes into the making of food, and you always cook for the other; maybe the purest expression of love is to cook for someone.  I don't see myself alone, standing in front of the top of the sink  and making a souffle of lobster.  But as soon as someone else comes, whether it's your mother or your lover or your child or a friend; then you set up the table around you; you add to your table, and you open the wine."
.....and "I remember my daughter when she was small and standing in her crib for the first time that I gave her caviar and I put it on bread - butter and caviar - she licked it up and she said,"Encore Papa." 

Encore G.
