I love elegance. I hate simplicity for the sake of one's lack of aspiration to go the extra effort. Though simplicity can be appreciated as that in a sponge cake dusted with powdered sugar. Chef well done, and what splendid magnificent art of creation, thank-you - I look forward to purchasing your Chef's Book in the near future.
