The Machinist and I have decided that our favourite chef would have to be Rick Stein. His views on food and family are unsurpassed.
I love the way he describes the food he is fortunate enough to sample as he travels. Chestnut flour, water, herbs and olive oil, mixed by hand for over half an hour is described as having "... a flavour like the middle of a pine forrest...". His mantra is fresh food simply cooked.
Rick's philosophy is that "... cooking and eating together are generous activities, which should be taken seriously, but should also resound with joy..."
And the memories of the places he has travelled, the people he has met are kept and stored, just like food is kept in preserving jars - to savour well past their prime
