I have to admit your blog leaves me feeling a little in awe so although I would like to be more active I shy away from it. Now, I've finally done it and it I hope that means I will be more confident in future. BTW this has nothing to do with anything you are doing, just my lack of confidence !

I have been on "the other side of the team" (the not so complimented side) although I cook everyday, for family and friends and my team mate doesn't. He gets compliments for his twice yearly efforts that I could never dream of but if he EVER pointed out that fact in front of guests I would want to kill him. Why? Well, he gets his big compliments twice a year. Good for him. He knows he should do it more and that he doesn't because he can't be bothered. Does it really matter? I get smaller but more heartfelt compliments 350 something times a year. Sorry, I wanted to write a lot more but I am too angry (not just with this thread...) and I've been too ill recently to bother. Yes, address the imbalance between male chefs and females cooking but please don't try and say that this post reinforces that, because it doesn't. Just to say Eric, that I appreciated your post and I understand where you are coming from. I really can’t help but think that some comments here (Tanya’s especially) are not about the post.
