Eskenazi Health,
From Chef Becky:
When I was 16, my Uncle Robert and his beautiful French wife, Paulette, took me to Europe with them for the Summer. We toured Switzerland, Austria, Italy but the highlight was Aunt Paulette's little village in the French Alps. After the wild mountain drive we pulled up to the ancient stone house of her family and there in the cherry tree, was Mama, Aunt Paulette's Mother, 76 years old, picking cherries for our dessert. The yard was a garden. Resplendent in bitter salad greens, radishes, sorrel. No grass, just garden. Mama was a magical cook. Rubbing the worn wooden bowl with garlic, tossing the freshly picked greens with vinegar, olive oil and pungent mustard. Storing beautiful cheeses under a dome on a worn board. Peasant Soup made of beautiful chicken stock, garden greens, pasta....finished with grated hard cheese. These are some of the memories that I carry. They stay with me and guide my approach to cooking and life.
