About the Book

From childhood a scrapbook of recipes was in the making and innocently referred to as my ‘gourmet collection.’  Years rolled by until my pursuit for anything gourmet, resulted in my place of business, legally named The Gourmet Collection Inc.  Now with pen to paper, let me break out my treasure chest collection; some garnered from family and friends around the globe and formulated to create Do It In The Kitchen with Briefs – Tales – Tips to Set Your Coals on Fire.

In this preamble to Do It In The Kitchen, I dare say, foreplay means play with food before sex.

 

Basic instincts tell us that food and people play together well. Friends and lovers everywhere go shopping or dining out together and at other times they choose to eat in.  Even if it’s a leisurely stroll or a picnic in the park, at playtime - food almost always becomes the opener to foreplay on everyone’s agenda.  At every romantic encounter, gathering or carousing with friends, ultimately there are those who find comfort in a glass of wine, some from dancing to Reggae music or “rent a tile” waltz, and surely, without denial, many find pleasure in food and lovemaking - yes, sex!   I dare anyone deny those facts - the naked truth.  Don’t be bashful, partake of this delectable subject; try my equation, my theorem or formula; food play plus foreplay equal lovemaking, they go hand in hand!  It’s been said that a picture paints a thousand words, but in my book, a thousand words paint a fairly good picture – the rest is up to your fancy.  Do It In The Kitchen.


About the Author

As a farmers’ granddaughter, I learnt to improvise; turn my hands, so to speak, making small amounts of anything into plenty, without modern day luxuries.  As the old saying goes, ‘every mickle makes a muckle,’ and with many lessons in cooking on our brick fireside and baking in our brick oven, using wood to make fire coals; put to the test, I could still fit right in, cooking or baking the old fashioned way.  I could milk those cows and churn the butter, manually, as if it were yesteryear. I’m extremely proud to have such strengths and resourcefulness to my credit. They are cherished assets that add affluence to my life.

One of my peers in the work place, conferred on me a nickname, Desiderata, insisting that she saw in me a quiet awareness, working under pressure without dishevelling or ruffling feathers.  She set out to imitate my style.  Nicknames were unacceptable for me, but this was one exception.  Desiderata, signify peace and humility and encourage my choice for obscurity.  So much so that I admonish everyone to seek and find their measure of peace in humility.  My life is joyfully obscure, that of a self-propelled chef with no accolades, and a humble artist with no intention to bloviate.

 

My grandparents as chums, not prudes; made risqué remarks, always with good taste, not meant to offend, but lighten the air, placing smiles on everyone’s face!  They imparted their best to me, saying, ‘only the best is good enough.’  Now here’s to you, some of my best – Nuff Respect!
