I'm not sure
himcolin online buy I ended 2013 reading only women. This wasn't accidental. After a list of influential foodies appeared, with not a woman chef in sight, a food fight over sexism erupted in kitchens across the country???with fingers pointing at the "demi-glace ceiling." I tried to shrug it off, but my wife suggested (read: demanded) that I institute my own grass-roots effort to right the wrong. In a food world where self-promotion rules, female chefs appear better able to resist the Food Network-ification of the chef: forget the steak, sell the sizzle. Books like "Le Livre Blanc," by the incredible French chef Anne-Sophie Pic, reminded me???because we always need reminding???that haute cuisine is, at its root, simple cooking (but as Einstein said, in a different context, "no simpler"). Deborah Madison's "Vegetable Literacy" is brilliantly simple. Instead of going from A to Z (A is for Asparagus), an approach as exciting as overgrown zucchini, she organized the book by vegetable family. Know the relationships between plants, and you can't help improving your cooking. Other wisdom gained from women? Don't argue with an insightful feminist that the demi-glace ceiling is fiction???especially if that feminist happens to have written another 2013 favorite: "The Autobiography of Us," a novel by my wife, Aria Beth Sloss.
