big jeff puzzles the times

this tells you a lot about me -- i understand exactly where jeffrey steingarten is coming from, which is perhaps why i've always been right with him, even though i can't convert my entire house to fit it for a commercial deck oven and 8 burner restaurant stove as he famously has. and it's very interesting that the new york times as usual apparently has little clue as to what jeffrey is doing. (register for this one; it's worth it.)

i'm also deeply surprised that the times has never heard of domori. while it was hard to find a couple of years ago, heavens, now it's everywhere. i mean, they even sell it on my street corner, at my local garden of eden here in brooklyn. get with it, nyt!

of course, i will take the liberty of disagreeing with the great pastry chef pierre herme on this one; domori doesn't always do it for me.

finally, that alex witchel could leave any gianduja untouched is frankly shocking. some people don't deserve the chocolate they're served. but jeffery was bold; he suffered the foolish and patiently tried to educate. . .
