Mark and Jennifer –
A fine interview! Your shared joy in food comes through very warmly. A few points I particularly enjoyed:
– food as a full-body experience [ah!]
– chefs’ mutual inspiration [creativity as process]
– sense memories [history, both mental and physiological]
– Dostoevsky and Tolstoy [of course]
– real tastes of seasonal food [grow closely, consume timely]
Good job! Please serve more.
Thanks, Robert! It’s great to hear back from listeners on what appeals to them. Please feel free to join in on the discussion here. I’d love to hear from listeners about their inspirations and how they use seasonal products, and the sense memories they produce, since we all have different gastronomic experiences growing up.
