 foodie or not foodie?
i am certain i have baked and cooked for many foodies: crazed restaurant owners, demanding and valued regulars, beautiful and appreciative restaurant guests, other kitchy-cool cooks. but i'm not sure i'm a foodie.
after marinading, steeping and being enveloped in food year after year i find myself fascinated with very simple details ie wanting to eat toasted tomato sandwiches for the entire time the tomatoes are perfect. Unadorned and instant served up by mother nature excites me the most.
i think its a new way of being food obsessed for me i can reserve the intricacy and menu writing for my career(by theway i'm thinking of starting and english grammar course for all those chefs who produce those wordy atrocities specifically for pretentious foodies)
love cooking but some times loathe describing why i want cook when i want to cook it.
one last thing do you think a foodie might be someone who equates great dining with a little peace of mind in this world? |
