My Little Cuisine features hundreds of excellent recipes, zero photos of the author and a very brief and humble personal note of thanks by the same at the end. I speak fluent French (my husband is French) and so lately I get most of my recipes from Elle a Table or My Little Cuisine by Marie Leteure.
The photographs on her blog are beautiful, the recipes look very good and she must be a real expert in the kitchen, but I don't bother to read her prose, it's not that well written and the tone is overwrought. She should have followed her "never complain or explain" dictate, that would have been so much more chic. Not impressed with Ms Thorisson feeling the need to respond. How truly wonderful! :) I do understand now however how you just may not be able to relate as an American male you probably have a very different outlooks and I wonder if it would be equivalent to me reading a book about how to repair cars (I wouldn't be able to relate!) But I do think there is a lesson in here for you to be aware of, (because I was honestly shocked at how callous your words were) and that is to please critique others with the idea that they will a) read it personally, and b) possibly have an opportunity to review you and your work one day. I find only great inspiration in who she is and how her and her husband craft their life based on their values. It's a shame that you do not relate whatsoever to the elegance, sense of harmony & authentically good living that her blog and books inspire to many, but to each their own. You must not have seen how cruel your words could be interpreted before you gleefully published them, so I will tentatively give you the benefit of the doubt. Your words try to reduce someone's vast sense of joy, generous-spirit, incredible hard work & integrity into a seemingly shallow & feckless persona. Adam Roberts what a truly unkind manner you used in reviewing the work and life of another human being.
