Reading the first paragraph of this excerpt from Tamasin Day-Lewis' new cookbook Good Tempered Food, I felt a smile creeping across my face. "Look, I am no purist hardliner," Day-Lewis writes. But she does like easy-to-prepare food, like "crab-and-avocado salad spritzed with lime, for which Phil, my fishmonger, has done the picking and pressing." Phil, my fishmonger? For real? Hahahaha! Oh, good. How ridiculous, right? My idea of easy food is a can of ABCs 123s with a half cup of "Mexican" shredded cheese dumped on top. Oh, good, good, now Tamasin, get to the part where you call people out on how ridiculous it is to consider a salad "quick and easy" in which you must develop a first-name-basis relationship with "your" fishmonger in order to make it so.
Second paragraph: no, she's serious.
Sigh.
