from Machu Picchu to the Serengeti

 

I first saw him in Peru on top of Machu Picchu, and he wanted to talk about quinoa. I was hoping for a philosophical discussion about the ancient Incas or the more ancient Andes Mountains, but he wanted to talk about his breakfast.

Bill explained that he had eaten something called quinoa which was supposed to be one of the most nutritious grains. He wanted to know more about cooking it. Then he commented philosophically on Machu Picchu. Food and philosophy came together: we were friends instantly.

Our friendship grew on these two avenues, and I watched Bill go on to conquer quinoa, that potent and nutritious grain. Not satisfied, he took off on an African safari and came back with more philosophy, more recipes and a vocabulary of African foods that caught my own curiosity.

This international man has a food philosophy: "I pretty much like all types of cooking. I don't have one favorite type. Good cooking is like good music, there are many different types but when you hear it you know there is something to it."

About Bibi: Bibi is a food lover who is interested in all foods from all places. Like her friend, Bill, she knows it when she hears it.

Read Bill's articles on this web site. Find out how this food lover grew up on food in detroit, then read about his discovery of quinoa. He offers us the challenge of discovering more!
