I had all kinds of food issues, including health concerns and weight concerns.

Confit is the ultimate comfort food, and trendy or not, it is dazzling stuff.

But all that being said about modulation, if you're serving people delicious food, they won't complain.

Years down the line, I became a food stylist.

I also think it's very important to consider how the food will feel to the person eating it.

Using lots of fresh foods, fruits and vegetables, helps to keep the menu buoyant - I don't know if that's the right word, but it keeps a balance of freshness and health.
