Years down the line, I became a food stylist.

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.

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

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

You don't have to stick with these recipes. They're guides. As I say, they're a way in. Have fun with them. It's an easier way to cook in a busy life, once you get the hang of it.
