Michael Pollan
“Cheese is all about the dark side of life" - Sister Noella; aka The Cheese Nun”
Michael Pollan, Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation

“The next dish arrived, a small bowl of morels cooked in brown butter served with maitake mushroom broth, complex and unctuous. The morels were harvested the year before, pickled and preserved, and served with a hand-carved appetizer fork. The concentration of flavor brought images of the woods to her mind, from the mossy forest floor to the tree canopy high above. This dish was followed by marigold flowers fried in an incredibly light tempura and then salted, served with an egg yolk dipping sauce. Then walnut "tofu," surrounded by grilled rose petals, topped with a sunflower seed mole, herbs, and tiny flowers, and a caramelized milk tart stuffed with cheese and thinly sliced black truffles, the flavor nutty and savory.
"That's better than sex," Cassie overheard Eamon say from across the table, eyes closed and head back in rapture.”
Emily Arden Wells, Eat Post Like
