What's for Supper

 

To Sir with Love

I'd sworn off dating chefs, but that was until I found the new man in my life. Anthony Bourdain, the king of offal and back alley dining, is going to be mine.

I find a lot of chefs pretty silly and dull. They talk about food like an mc at a fashion show. They use words like 'whizz' and 'blitz'. They have stupid hairstyles and even dumber wives. .

But Anthony Bourdain is different.  He sits on dirt floors in China eating fermented fish bladders and pickled duck tongues. He thinks the feet are the tastiest part of the chicken. He sees nothing wrong in a quick bowl of snails for breakfast. In short, he is my soul mate.

I have it all planned. The initial seduction will require precise planning. Anthony will resist at first - he will think of his wife and child, but slowly, as the scent of my slowly braised tripe wafts through the air or I outdo him in a fried grasshopper eating contest, his reluctance will melt away.

Here are just 3 of the many recipes that I will cook for him:

Stir-fried pig's earsGrilled octopus with romesco & charred lemons
Turkish tripe and garlic soup

  • What's for Supper: Persian Immersion

    The flight to Tehran was like one huge party. My fellow passengers passed around salted melon seeds and were full of curiosity about the ‘blonde girl’ going to Iran all alone. By the time we landed I’d had countless invitations to dinner, to visit people at home, and even to a few weddings.  So began my month-long adventure in Iran...
