In this podcast, I start once again with Chopin's Prelude Number 1 in C Major but I finish with Bach's Prelude #1 in C Major. This is the first of 24 podcasts that starts with a Chopin prelude and finishes with a Bach prelude, allowing us to compare a romantic style with a classical style.
Today I am translating the Gastronomy chapter from Bien Manger Pour Bien Vivre and then making comments as they come to me. De Pomiane talks about the origins of European art and then about the importance of understanding science in order to be a good cook. I am consistently surprised with how much I disagree with him, and I believe it's because we come from two very different eras.
After finishing the Gastronomy chapter I talk a little about the latest progress in helping West African cocoa farmers become more economically and environmentally sustainable.
