| Introduction | For me, the true 'cuisine' is the pure, untouched, old, slow-cooking recipes from our grandmothers' days. Or sharing a plate of Tapas and Manzanilla with some friends. Food is much more than nutrients. It is art. It is pleasure. It is history, culture, it lives. It brings out that smile on my sister's face. It defines us. The famous chef Auguste Escoffier (†1935) who once cooked for the greatest kings and emperors, expressed the same love for the traditional, uncomplicated recipes that were passed on, generation by generation. Towards the end of his life, he published a book, somehow different than his previous, almost scientifically precise works: this last book he ever published, entitled 'Ma Cuisine' , unveiled his all-time favorite culinary creations. Auguste had undoubtedly written this book with all his heart. Hence the title of this blog. It is a blog about the love for food and I want to invite you to share your favorite recipes, to ask me questions, to browse and enjoy. Welcome to Ma Cuisine |
