Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
"
Michelle zests blood oranges into her brand-new Cuisinart, a Christmas present.
...I am not alone among food
bloggers. I do not yet have my showplace kitchen... Yet our kitchen is still the heart of our home, as it is for so many
other good cooks and gourmands who have not yet come into the riches they so deserve, the riches that will fund a
fabulous kitchen makeover one day. So it occurred to me that this is something to celebrate. Real kitchens,
in rented apartments or fixer-uppers or "starter homes" or entry-level condos. The ones that you live and
cook in."
This week I visited the kitchen of Michelle of Je Mange la Ville. She was already beginning to bake when I walked in, and the sun had begun to stream through her south-facing kitchen windows. I sat at the counter stool with my lenses and rolls of film and began to soak in the rays and the delicious smells. Could I find art in this normal kitchen, on a comfortable side street in a "transitional" neighborhood in Portland, Oregon?
