I would love nothing more than to spend an entire day with Maira Kalman just chitchatting about nothing and anything. I should invite her to come to Montreal, but perhaps not during the winter season, hmm. I have a feeling she would find the Québécois as hysterical as I do. (FYI, I mean this with love!)
She recently illustrated Michael Pollan's popular book, Food Rules an eater's manual, and I can't wait to get my hands on it. Kalman's colorful contributions are priceless, but kudos to Pollan for the obviously enlightening quotes. A few excerpts below...
Place a Bouquet of Flowers on the Table and Everything Will Taste Twice as Good.
Cook.
Eat When You Are Hungry, Not When You Are Bored.
I wonder if this book will cure my uncontrollable potato chips fetish. Are they really horrible?. . .even if they're the Natural Reduced Fat Sea Salted Potato Chips by RUFFLES?
Mark LOVES sweets and I've been hooked on the salty-sour stuff since birth. Mmm, I blame those spicy Mexican candies from my lovely childhood!
