John McPhee's 1979 book Giving Good Weight includes "Brigade de Cuisine," a piece about a chef and his wife. I particularly liked this sentence:
"The dacquoise resembles cake and puts up a slight crunchy resistance before it effects a melting disappearance between tongue and palate and a swift transduction through the bloodstream to alight in the brain as a poem."
Anyone hungry?
