...gourmets, Fisher is now tiring of all the hype about native food. "If I hear any more about chic Tex- Mex or blue cornmeal, I'll throw up. And I've always hated goat cheese because it tastes like dirt," she says. About the present wave of young American chefs, she observes, "Of course they should be encouraged, but most are too young to be so famous. I think it takes twelve years of experience after graduation from a culinary school for a man or woman truly to be a chef. Many of those young chefs pay more attention...
...accepted the invitation of the Japanese chef Shizuo Tsuji, a friend of 35 years and the founder and president of a cooking school for professionals in Osaka, to come to Japan and write an introduction to his cookbook Japanese Cooking: A Simple Art.

His birthday cake, a model of Louis XIV's coronation crown, was created by a chef who was flown to the Louvre to study the original. Khashoggi's parties also take place in his 30,000-sq.-ft. quarters incorporating the 46th and 47th floors of the Olympic Towers in Manhattan. Created out of 16 separate apartments, the abode has a pool that overlooks the spires...
...required fried eggs, this elegant, succulent version has three sauces -- one fresh, made from scratch of Mexican tomatillos, another the classic tomato and onion salsa, and the third a chili-flavored pork carnitas -- all capped with a dome of melted Jack cheese. "It costs us $18 to make," says Chef-Owner John Hudspeth. Since $10.50 was the menu price, it is easy to see why Hudspeth dropped it from the menu for the new year...
