Cooking as an Act of Love
Babette's Viennese Feast
Visual DelectationsIsn't this the kind of
writing on the wall
we all love?
Chocolate Quince Tartelettewith your coffee?
I said yesto sinful gluttony -
and, oh, what rapture!
Morsel after morseltransporting me
on the wingsof a perfectly composed
rhapsody of flavours
to the higher spheres
of sweet nirvana
"... a triumphant sunburst
of sensual and spiritual delight -
a supreme banquet
harmonizing body and soul ... "
David Denby in "Heaven on Earth" *

in March 1988, about the movie

Ahh, one of my all-time favourite movies! That chocolate tartelette looks like heaven on earth to me. And yesterday's photos simply stunning.
What a great movie and I don't blame you for indulging. That looks fantastic.
I am enjoying India...except for my bout of Delhi Belly...and I love the food but, once in awhile, one longs for an espresso and a chocolate morsel such as this.
I'm always up for being loved with good food!
My fav movie too..
are you in Venice yet?
Pardon my drool.....
Oh my that looks sinfully delicious.
I must go there! I must see this! tomorrow that is!!!
One of my favourite movies.
