...Tilson had to first work out which of the eight surveyed areas might support tigers once again. The winning candidate was the rugged Hupingshan-Houhe reserve, which lies within the tiger's historical range.

His diligence and attention to detail were stunning to witness. He was surgical. His draping skills were incredible and his construction beautiful. His work was whimsical and full of humor; it was subversive, political and incredibly sexual, but he had a seriousness about...

I left with the heater set at 140°F (60°C). I cut out of work early to be home exactly eight hours later. The result: still spongy, but at least the sauce was tasty.
