That kind of cuisine might have been revolutionary when Waters was first on the scene, but she's spawned so many imitators that it just didn't do it for me. I can't remember the name of the French chef who made that critique of Waters, but there's a truth in its nastiness. I got a Chez Panisse co ...

People can disagree on the ethics, healthfulness, or sustainability of meat-eating, but meats have plenty of taste. Where does the flavor of a beef or lamb stock come from? The aromatics? One of the reasons that most professional chefs disdain vegetarianism is because they appreciate the rich, complex taste of meats. Read Anthony Bourdain on the topic. Doug
