Literary Culinary

Really good books are just as rare as Wagyu Beef. Especially if you are looking for food book that is neither written by Anthony Bourdain nor your traditional recipe collection.
Which is why I HAVE to tell you about this little literary jewel: Monsieur, der Hummer und ich (Monsieur, the lobster and I), written by Stevan Paul.


Stevan Paul was born in 1969 and lives in Hamburg. The trained chef worked in leading establishment of german gastronomy from 1988 until 1995 and is nowadays working as foodstylist and Autor for magazines, advertising agencies and publishing houses. You might know him as Herr Paulsen - his alias for his foodblog NutriCulinary.

The book is a collection of culinary episodes. Too precious to read them all at once, more like very good pralinés - you eat them one by one, endulging in the moment. I like!
