I love that. That’s how I feel this time of year, when beautiful, delicious fresh vegetables come through the kitchen door. Morning and evening, I pick figs off the tree just outside the kitchen window, and I feel very blessed indeed. I am a finicky, demanding, mercurial, often impossible person, but man, when it comes to food, it doesn’t take much to make me really happy. In working on the book, my editor had to dial me back on speculating about the metaphysical and sacramental qualities of food. Secretly, though, I really think that way. I am the Robert Farrar Capon of the Bozart.
