"I don't believe you can ever really cook unless you love eating", Nigella Lawson's famous words rang in my ear as I watched her shows about soul comforting food. But I find a strong connection with Anton Ego in Ratatouille and Nigella. Does it seem strange? Not the cruel food critic Ego, but the person he became in the end, the moment he remembered his mother's humble food. it makes us realize that food is truly humble!
Anton Ego: In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau's famous motto: Anyone can cook. But I realize, only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere. It is difficult to imagine more humble origins than those of the genius now cooking at Gusteau's, who is, in this critic's opinion, nothing less than the finest chef in France.
Humble! If only we have the courage to be humble in every walks of life.
However, when it comes to our own food needs, we can indulge ourselves in some products to make food more appetizing! I have put together few comforting food to me! A barbeque in the garden for those coming Spring and summer months. Am I too early for dreaming of barbeque? Our readers will answer that!
