Q&A
What are your favorite foods?
B: Being a trained chef in French and Italian cuisines, I am a meat lover with a big tendency for savory meats (think salami, Parma hams and all kinds of raw cheeses) and sweets with a heavy hint of buttery creaminess (certainly including Belgian chocolate, and the fondant version is my favorite treat. I also have a hard time saying no to a good ice cream accompanied by heavy buttery caramel and other such really flavorful pleasures). That being said, I'm fond of slight notes of bitterness (think the bitters in cocktails or the peel of an orange) and the tart feeling of an acetic lemony sourness. The best bribery for me is for sure covered in dark bitter chocolate and stuffed with creamy sourness, like a good lemon cheesecake, though with time and having had to overcome so many health challenges, I've learned to appreciate a healthier variety of the same pleasures. But I still sin every now and again by indulging (once a chef, forever a chef).
