He was an innovator, an experimenter, a missionary in bringing the gospel of good cooking to the home table.

Physically he was the connoisseur's connoisseur. He was a giant panda, Santa Claus and the Jolly Green Giant rolled into one. On him, a lean and slender physique would have looked like very bad casting.

Cooking is at once child's play and adult joy. And cooking done with care is an act of love.
