Delicious. Extravagant. Thank you for the secret passage through the back door to the invisible spot behind the potted fern, where I'm standing very still, inhaling the privileged spices and watching the line of heat vibrate between the smart staff and the tippling clientele. It's dizzying. How to come back to plain earth?

“…and the command of details lent us an illusory, brief edge-of-table power. We could explain both with words and subtle hand movements how the parts and techniques comprised the sublime culinary whole – gesticulating “smoothing” and “sprinkling” and “gently folding” like auditioning hand models.”

Olfactory senses on overload. Even the nocturnal bouquet of expensive perfumes permeates the air.

Writing so descriptive it’s palpable. I’m in the theatre , watching the movie . Pass the popcorn.

(P.S. On a personal note ,thank you for letting me in the side door…)
