How do we get to the right ideas about femininity, sensuality, and their relation to food? It starts, as always, with philosophy.

In my first chef interview, James Beard nominated chef Jean-Louis Gerin from Restaurant Jean-Louis in Greenwich, CT shares his latest explorations of food and sensuality, and weighs in with some provocative thoughts on “foodies,” celebrity chefs, and life behind the…

An interesting discussion has begun over on the CPN blog about my first show and my dislike of the term “foodie.” As I had anticipated, some people will not be happy about what I had to say, but I think this is a great opportunity to start a dialogue on the very subject. I am equally passionate about food and serious about ideas, and I’m interested in hearing your thoughts, positive or negative.
In my first show, we’re diving right in with an examination of the word “foodie”: what does it mean, and why should it disappear from the culinary lexicon?

After another wonderful weekend of cooking, tasting, and sipping cocktails with great friends, I’ve returned to my desk with thoughts anew. Though it certainly can be said that the ideal way to savor a meal is by sitting at a gorgeous table, calmly partaking of an array of dishes, there is a special kick I experience when the food doesn’t even make it that far. Upon presenting a lovely, simple roast beef perfumed with cloves of garlic and spices, I watched as the first tastes were supplanted by blatant grazing, with everyone gathered around the counter. In minutes the roast…
After giving this subject much thought, I have come to form a hypothesis that the connection between openness to the sublime pleasure of food and to sensuality may be rooted in one’s sense of life. To swoon over a forkful of something divine — one that inspires rolling of the eyes and primal groans — requires a person to be open enough to experience a feeling of pleasure that deeply. This would likely be apparent in a person who also revels in the art of making love. I think of a person who can feel all the way to his…
Gastronomy has always captured a special place in my soul. Though I love to cook, it is the study of food’s cultural and historical impact by which I am consumed. There is a small group of individuals who added timber to what is now a pyre of passion within me, and I am compelled to celebrate their impact on my thinking. Beginning with the June issue, I will begin to delve into the colorful history of these magnificent individuals, from Fernand Point to Brillat-Savarin, to MFK Fisher and more. To me, they illustrated that food was far more significant than…
I’ve recently set up a baker’s rack in my kitchen, and I am enthralled with the sight of stainless steel and kitchen tools, just waiting to be touched. Some might find this strange, but I experience an odd sort of comfort when surrounded by kitchen equipment. The cold, smooth surfaces are like a beacon to my creative soul. Hey, we all have our quirks.
