ALWAYS DANCE IN THE KITCHEN
Gordon Ramsay told me once,
"To find a happy niche in
The world of haute cuisine, my son,
Always dance in the kitchen.
"Do not prepare a French soufflé
Or macerate a mango
Without a box step or plié,
A can-can, jig or tango.
"Don't bake a cake or ginger snap
Or render chicken schmaltz
Unless you are prepared to tap,
To square dance, or to waltz."
My first job out of cooking school,
I did the bossa nova.
Was Ramsay joking? I'm a fool.
My short career is over.
