Introduction

I now have the honour of introducing to you my fellow gastronome: Dan! I have had the pleasure of both his company and his cooking for several years now, and I can say without reserve that he is both a magnificent cook and a charming man about town. What a guy!

I am trying to write my MA thesis and don't have a lot of time for eating, let alone writing about it. Except in my thesis, of course (which, in case you are burning with curiosity, is about cannibalistic gastronomy in Greenaway's The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and Her Lover and Chamoiseau's Chronique des sept misères). So Dan will be showing up here sometimes to keep you entertained with some of his own research and reflection on delicious things while I try to graduate in May.

Don't worry, though, my thoughts are still consumed with gastronomic dreams. I'll be planning some posts as soon as I can.
