When Dirt begins, Buford, formerly an editor at the New Yorker, is commuting from Manhattan to Washington DC, where he is working at Citronelle, a restaurant whose patron is a French chef called Michel Richard. And imagine this: peas, having been podded, are also slipped out of their individual translucent membranes – so translucent, in fact, that I didn’t previously know of their existence.īut I’m running away with myself, the water boiling when it should only be simmering. ![]() At La Mère Brazier, however, the pointy bits on its stems are flicked off one by one using a paring knife. (The reader has the impression that if chef had wanted to spank l’Americain on the bottom with une cuillè re en bois, he would happily have bent over.) What kind of pernickety am I talking about? Well, most people, for instance, steam asparagus as it comes those who peel it before cooking (I’m one) are considered to be fusspots. And, yes, if you haven’t fathomed this already, the new book is about French cooking – so it’s out with the pasta and a blase wedge of lemon, and in with the butter, the cream and the kind of pernickety rules you might expect to drive Buford completely mad, but whose strictness, at moments, he seems to find quite the turn-on. ![]()
