My Facebook status today says, "T had a hilarious conversation earlier with a friend about hanky panky in the kitchen. Lines such as 'He garnished my salad!' and 'I batonneted his cucumber!' were exchanged." Said friend was telling me earlier about her "earthy" chef friends (and I don't mean the flavor they tease out of mushrooms).In response - perhaps to encourage me to give in to my garnishing and batonneting impulses? - my friend I sent me this review of Isabel Allende's Aphrodite. The extract about how she procured some truffles is deliciously sensual. I'm adding Aphrodite to my reading list!
