Hi there!
This is issue 50, meaning 50 weekly streaks, almost a year of Secret Breakfast, almost 50% of the issues written at about 1AM.
It is a ride surprising and fulfilling, like entering into a kebab shop in Clapham Junction and find the weirdest perfect match.
The picture above says it all. This whole newsletter says it all. I hope you get the c.
Piero
PS: hey, what was your most puzzling perfect match cooking? Asparagus and white chocolate? Cepes and meringue? Write me, we'll share some.

THE BEST QUOTE WE'LL READ TODAY
|

I’ll stay on the windowsill
or with a half smile
of those who know that winter does not last long.
In short, here.
Wishing for nothing more than
eternity
on the brink of a coffee.

A BOOK FOR GREASY HANDS
Hot buttered
★★1/2
For months I wanted to talk about this book. Now, there it is, in all its buttery 130 recipes. Still, I do not know: is this way of cooking fit enough for these times of rage against food waste? Do we need all that animal fat, any single time? We have to read Sir Martin's book first to answer.

RANDOM ACTS OF HUNGER
This is a space where I share some food (un)related stuff of my week

This reminds me my years in Ireland, where I discovered Irish girls did not drink Baileys, but Jameson and Ale. At the time you could market a "girly drink" calling it "girly" and be successful.

When people ask me "How's eating at noma?", at first I always talk about the staff, not the food. Foong says it better: “The best way I can describe it is like watching an old black-and-white movie with actors running around but with no sound. It was like a perfectly orchestrated ballet. There was also a very palpable energy and intensity".

Can't say he will be missed. And you?

I'm stealing this one from the Instagram just because I think everyone here should follow ancient_memez.
