Alex’s love affair with food began in the kitchen of her childhood as did mine, but for completely different reasons. Alex tells the story about sitting in her parent’s kitchen kneading bread while her mother made this amazing cheese soufflé, which included an entire wheel of Camembert cheese. Watching her mother prepare this was mesmerizing and when this gift from the heavens was finally in the oven, she would sit in this chair like a security guard protecting a fine piece of art in a museum. Eventually, this soufflé would be unveiled and presented to the family and at some level, with the first bite of this creation, something within her changed forever. Eating this soufflé was a multisensory experience, like listening to a finely tuned quartet.
