Can you combine art and cooking? Yes, yes and yes. Rachel Khoo the star of "Little French Kitchen," shows us how in this You Tube video.
In my last post, I wrote about my new favorite cooking show, "Little French Kitchen." She is on the Cooking Channel and if you cannot see it, you might try You Tube where snippets of her show are shown.
In this episode, she combines one of my favorite artists, JW Turner with a cooking lesson, but through the magic of You Tube, you can glimpse a few of Turner's earlier works at the Tate Gallery in London.
His art is amazing and if you are ever in London it is worth the trip by the London tube and bit of a walk. Years ago my family and I were visiting London and we did visit the Tate, albeit soaking wet. Yes we ran into a horrific rain storm on our way over to the museum, and even our umbrella's turned inside out. As we dripped our way inside, no one even looked our way as we paid our fee, checked our umbrellas and made our way to the Turners. I was freezing, wet and miserable and felt very sorry for myself. Here I was amidst these magnificent paintings which I had waited for so long to actually see and all I could think of was how wet I was. But, I told myself, here is your chance, get over it. And I did. Looking at the larger paintings, you felt as if you could just keep walking and walk inside the painting. His colors are wonderful, the sea, the sky, very abstract for his time.
In the talented Ms Khoos segment, you can see a few of his earlier works and enjoy her recipe, "Quick Pickled Sardines." She also sketches food and ideas for her show and makes me appreciate that there is beauty and creativity everywhere.
