Love your recap Judith, reading it feels like we're quickly following your thoughts as you remember your favorite moments. I also stumbled upon Martin Yan (could hardly believe my chance), and I LOVED seeing Mr Pépin using his fingers to push syrup and other liquids out of the mise en place's small containers (licking his fingers to clean 'em as he went). Can you believe I overheard some people who were invited to come eat the food he had prepared wonder about the "sanitary condition" of what they were about to eat? You were one of the first ones who greeted me into IACP and I'm very grateful for it. I just hope we'll get the chance to have a drink together at some point, in New York - or Italy?
