The Humble Tortilla Done Right
Let me tell you about the best tortilla I have ever eaten. I have had many "aha" moments when it comes to food, as I'm sure you have. I remember the first time I tasted Thai food in Hawaii in the early 1990s. Even though I tried to eat the long thick sticks of lemongrass in my dish, I was blown away by the flavors of this new (to me) cuisine. Some of the "ahas" were subtler. When I was young, I didn't understand the fuss people made over produce and why they preferred this grocery store over that. Sometime in my 20s when I had begun shopping and cooking for myself, I started to get it. You taste a homegrown tomato from your friend's garden and something clicks. I eat lots of perfectly good nuts, but a few years ago I had some really fresh ones and I realized I had been missing something. Agustina's tortillas were like that. I've eaten plenty of tortillas in my life, but hers were special.

Getting the most(y) out of rösti
Is it a hashbrown? A hushpuppy? Risotto? Is it a side dish? Breakfast? Late-night snack? Whatever this strange Swiss dish was sitting on my plate, it was begging to be consumed. It was crispy golden brown, fried to perfection and oozing with grease and cheese. “Rösti,” said the smiling Swiss waitress, observing me indulgently, “eat it. It’s good.”
