“There
is no sincerer love than the love for food” ~ George Bernard Shaw
Whether it’s food for thought or food for stomach, there
is no doubt that food is something we all hunger for. Most times in our quest
to feed our hunger, we sneak into an overloaded boat at night trying to cross boarders illegally searching for greener pastures; take two extra jobs and work
round the clock; or even form queues under the sun waiting for our turn to get
a taste of this thing that keeps us all alive on planet earth, Food.
Talking about forming queues, Chef Dominique Ansel will
be familiar with this one because, he literally made people to stand—and
sometimes sleep—on the streets in New York waiting to get a taste of an awesome
pastry he invented; The Cronut™—a hybrid of the croissant and doughnut.
In course of our stroll, we talked about food and
sustainable food systems in the world; possible solutions to the global hunger
problem; and the Eureka moment when he got the idea for the Cronut™. I hope
this wets your appetite.
Here is my stroll with Chef Ansel, enjoy;
