Dear Mr. Jeff Smith a.k.a. The Frugal Gourmet
Since you fall in the heading of my Top 25 Chef’s in the World, I would
like to include you in a book
I am currently working on.
The premise is "Culinary Disaster’s"
I am approaching all 25 Chef’s (Presently 3 have agreed) and asking
each of them if they would be so
kind as to relate a funny, disastrous cooking experience. If there
happens to be more than one, please
feel free to share them all.
I will in turn write up the disaster, attach the recipe and if possible, include a picture of the meal.
I truly feel the public would be interested in such a book, as I myself
have had some nightmares,
when guests have arrived expecting a masterpiece.
I realize this might be time consuming, but if you would find some time
to either email me a
condensed version or send me something on a cassette tape, or time
and money willing, I would meet
you personally, I would be forever grateful. Perhaps you might be visiting
Toronto, Ontario Canada
as well.
As an aside. You might be thinking, "I cannot let the public be aware
of any cooking disaster", Hog
wash, I say. I truly believe the public would find it very endearing.
I also foresee this book as being a wonderful dinner conversation piece.
Your contribution would entail me listing your Bio, any cookbooks written
by yourself and
mentioning any web site you might currently have. All this would be
included in your own chapter of
the book.
I do have a deadline and will await your reply either way.
Sincerely
Beatrice Lembo
