Anthony Bourdain once said, “Context and memory play powerful roles in all the truly great meals in one’s life.” I couldn’t agree more though I may add storytelling as another attribute. David, one of my friends with a prominent seat at the table of the Holy Brotherhood of the Golden Stomach once lovingly described an impromptu meal he shared with a French friend several decades before.

My earliest attempt at cookery began with the filleting of my sister's goldfish at age 2 and cooking my pet rabbits by age 7. Life has been downhill ever since.
