Funny thing about being grateful ~ it seems to be the gift that keeps on
giving. Maybe it's Karma... Grey, rainy day today which David Orel
tells me is fairly common here in Prague.into
the cave. I decided to grab an umbrella and just
wander. Well, incredible found me again! I took a left on what seemed
to be a nondescript little alley and ~ right in front of me is The
Muzeum Gastronomie. I enter and discover this is the history of food
from the earliest of time, when, fire, when found was taken At first it was for heat only. Their diets consisted of
fruits, berries and insects ~ no cooking necessary! As I walk thru
"time" the young lady guide and I began talking and I mentioned my
cousin Jenifer Lang
and her knowledge and love of things "food." I mentioned her
involvement with the French cookbook Larousse Gastronomique, her being
the first female Chef @ 21 in NYC and out of the little office, out
comes Ladislav Provaan ~ curator of this museum! Over the next 2 hours I
was fortunate to be guided by a man that truly loves everything "food
and its History." His love of the subject literally gushed as he
discussed everything from The French Revolution and the very first
Michelin guide to current trends in preparation and presentation.
Simply Amazing and incredibly enjoyable. #grateful.
