Can a chef be an artist?

A chef can absolutely be an artist! Have you ever been to a restaurant where the presentation of the food on a plate is so mesmerizing that you don't want to stick your fork in it because it would ruin the beauty? Or, how about when you eat something and you have absolutely no idea what some of the ingredients are but everything just tastes like heaven? My favorite is when two or more ingredients that you never thought in a million years should be pared together, are and then it tastes amazing. I don't think a normal person, or a normal chef for that matter could come up with some of these food combinations. Only a artist could.

Babette's Feast

The book version and the movie version of Babette's Feast were extremely similar. The movie did a good job bringing to life important events that the book had stressed. In some scenes, like when all the food Babette had ordered arrived, you really got to see how horrified and worried Martina and Philippa were about the dinner being a sin. Also there were some Biblical references and how the food transformed them after the feast.

comfort food

my ultimate comfort food is probably white pizza. It reminds me of my camp and my favorite counselor and just a happy time in my life.
