Toby Corn Perfil del Chef

Acerca de mí

I am..
a Restaurant Consultant
a Kitchen Designer
a Part-time Landscaper
an Occasional Caterer
a lazy author (or, so my ex-editor says)

I believe...
that everyone can cook - given the right tools and opportunity
that you should (occasionally, at least) eat outside your comfort zone
that some chefs spend way too much time decorating the plate and not enough time cooking
that everyone has one good recipe..and one cheap novel in them
that there is never a good reason to buy prepackaged , pre-cooked food
that fast food is the bane of our culture and will be our eventual undoing

I have...
eaten things that would probably have been better off in the trash
bungee jumped before it was even considered marginally safe
sheared sheep for fun - castrated three of them for dinner
traveled fairly extensively
three novels in varying stages of incompleteness
been crushed by a grand piano. (The piano was undamaged)
been bitten by a chimpanzee
spent an entire night fishing for squid off the coast in Thailand
been the guest of honor at a dinner for reasons I am still unsure of.
a thing about deli meat in general ... mortadella, specifically
