#gourmet

I can cook really well. I started cooking as a kid, so I can fend for myself in the kitchen and even do a little gourmet action. ↗

... food is not simply organic fuel to keep body and soul together, it is a perishable art that must be savoured at the peak of perfection. ↗

Fine food is poison. It can be as bitter as antimony and bitter almonds and as repulsive as swallowing live toads. Like the poison the emperor took every day to stop himself being poisoned, fine food must be taken daily until the system becomes immune to its ravages and the taste buds beaten and abused to the point where they not only accept but savour every vile concoction under the sun. ↗

A gourmet who thinks of calories is like a tart who looks at her watch. ↗

The true gourmet, like the true artist, is one of the unhappiest creatures existent. His trouble comes from so seldom finding what he constantly seeks: perfection. ↗

A gourmet meal without a glass of wine just seems tragic to me somehow. ↗

I don't like to use 'gourmet' because it has become so overused and abused. ↗
