“In normal life, ‘simplicity’ is synonymous with ‘easy to do,’ but when a chef uses the word, it means ‘takes a lifetime to learn.'”
Bill Buford, writer, food writer, editor New York Times, author of Heat – an account of working for free as a “kitchen bitch” to chef Mario Batali for the NYC restaurant Babbo
Being a chef is not an easy job. I know, my husband was a chef for thirty years. However, many of the” simplicity” today are meals that have been on tables in homes for many years. I am 74 and when I see some of the meals being offered I recognize them from my childhood. Those recipes were passed down for generations from mother to daughter. It was the poor families dinner. Now it seems it has turned to Gourmet. Many mothers are smiling from above, and those of us still cooking look at each other and say, “are you kidding me”? My family has been making that for centuries. ☺☺
