The LL BALANCED

APPROACH to FOOD

Cooking isn’t a rote set of steps to follow. It is a daily

adventure; one that doesn’t require airfare or jet lag. The

temperature, time of day, age of your spices, seasonality of your

ingredients — each time you cook, all of these factors and more

come into play. And I do mean play. We live in an age of instant

gratification, of science and technology and fact, and we’ve

come to expect that in every aspect of our lives. But any true

home cook will tell you that cooking often defies rules and logic,

requiring instead intuition, risk, and experimentation. And that

is the absolute real joy of the cooking experience. I have worked

hard to create dishes that can be easily replicated, but embrace

the concept that your versions will have their own nuances

and characteristics.
