Renouncing the pleasures of gourmet cooking is for some the greatest of sacrifices. For five years before her notable début at the Met in 1949, the soprano Astrid Várnay spent all her spare time either cooking or studying educational books. Operative success led to so many singing engagements that she had to give up the latter, but an irresistible interest in new recipes kept her in the kitchen whenever at home.

'A grander head was never more grandly set on human shoulders...His shoe was as big as a child's boat. One could have clad the child in one of his gloves.' Musical gourmets might indeed be proud to have this Brobdingnagian in their ranks. Also in that apartment house lived Manuel Garcia the elder, a superb Spanish tenor who was a brilliant maestro di canto, and whose daughters were to rise to fame.
