Faye Hess shares her intense passion for food

by Marisa McClellan, Posted Aug 11th 2008 @ 12:04PM

I am currently totally and completely enamored of Faye Hess. I discovered her over the weekend, while catching up on the backlog of feeds in my reader. She is a New York City-based (well, Queens to be exact) chef who has made a series of four cooking videos that are entertaining, instructive and appealingly quirky. Oh, and did I mention that her food looks delicious?

During the nicely edited and captioned videos, she carries on a conversation with the camera that is so natural, passionate and easy that you can readily imagine that you are actually standing in her long, slightly slant-y kitchen with her. While preparing a garlic and butter sauce for freshly made gnocchi, she holds up a handful of sage to the camera man (who I'm guessing is her husband) so he can enjoy the scent. In that moment, I inhaled deeply myself, expecting a noseful of of rich, green woodiness. All I got was the faint wisps of bacon from the morning before.

Thanks to her inspiration, I'm planning a gnocchi attempt soon. I've also subscribed to her blog and ordered her book on Lulu (and I'm counting down the days until it arrives). She's made a passionate fan out of me, and I'm certain she'll do the same to you.
