One man's trash is another man's treasure, and the by-product from one food can be perfect for making another.

A food processor, or even one of those small bowls that fit on a stick blender, is a real treasure. No, that's not an overstatement.

A well-made salad must have a certain uniformity; it should make perfect sense for those ingredients to share a bowl.

The smells of slow cooking spread around the house and impart a unique warmth matched only by the flavour of the food.

Fusion food as a concept is kind of trying to quite consciously fuse things that are sometimes quite contradictory, sometimes quite far apart, to see if they'd work.

If the first bite is with the eye and the second with the nose, some people will never take that third, actual bite if the food in question smells too fishy, fermented or cheesy.
