Bragging Rights

I have to seize this moment to brag about my friend, Michele Gentile. Not only is she one of the coolest, prettiest, smartest, funniest...I could go on forever...she is also the most adventurous person I know. She has just left her last cooking assignment and has written an article published today in the Wall Street Journal. You need to take a look at it.


It is entitled: Cooking at the End of the World. As you will read, Michele has been cooking dishes adapted from the chef, Laurent Tourandel (NYC) while working as a sous chef at the U. S. research station on ...Antarctica. WOW...that girl is unbelievable!!!

Michele is the author of my favorite food blog, Harriett's Tomato. You also need to check that out. Now that her tour of Antarctica is over, she has traded in her parka and long underwear for shorts and a bathing suit. She is going to be cooking on Palmyra Atoll in the South Pacific. Talk about extremes!

Have a great time, Michele! You deserve it!

The picture above was taken just over a year ago in NYC when Zin Restaurant cooked at the James Beard House. Michele joined us in the kitchen for that event, making a special event even better! (Michele is the lovely one wearing the blue scarf!)
