Simon Says: Daily Food Quote, October 1, 2012
At a dinner party one should eat wisely but not too well, and talk well but not too wisely.–W. Somerset Maugham, 1896
W. Somerset Maugham was an English playwright, novelist and short story writer who also held a medical degree. Maugham could have been a surgeon, but chose to use his medical background to influence his writing, as it did in his first novel in 1897 Liza of Lambeth, which was a tale of working-class adultery.

Meet New Zealand Celebrity Chef Annabel Langbein
by Amanda McInerney
The celebrity cooks and chefs of the United States, the UK and Europe are frequently familiar to Australians too, but I sometimes wonder if the reverse is true. We’ve bred some truly remarkable kitchen talents down here in the antipodes — both in Australia and New Zealand — and we well and truly have our share of local celebrity chefs on TV shows and cookbook shelves. While the international Masterchef franchise has blazed across our screens and spawned an entire new crop of culinary household names, there are plenty that have been steadily and consistently doing their kitchen/foodie thing without all of that fanfare and I’m taking this opportunity to introduce you to one of them.

It is a hard matter, my fellow citizens, to argue with the belly, since it has no ears.–Cato the Elder
Cato the Elder was a Roman statesman, referred to as “The Elder” to distinguish him from his great great grandson, Cato the Younger. Although a very distinguished statesman, he deserves more notice as an author of the first history of Rome, written in Latin.

Simon Says: Daily Food Quote, September 21, 2012
Some sensible person once remarked that you spend the whole of your life in your bed or in your shoes. Having done the best you can buy shoes and bed, devote all the time and resources at your disposal to the building up a fine kitchen. It will be, as it should be, the most comforting and comfortable room in the house.–Elizabeth David, Slow Food, 1951
here was a British cookbook writer who, on her return from “exile” in Egypt after WW2, decided that action had to be taken with regard to the quality of food in Britain. She was outright hostile to second-rate cooking and the use of frozen, canned and out-of-season ingredients, and is, in many people’s mind, a precursor of the concept of Slow Food. In any case, she was a primary mover in bringing true traditional home cooking using quality ingredients back into the mainstream in Britain.
All her books are listed here, and most are still available at Book Depository or other online independent booksellers.
