After five or six years writing about food, I've re-imagined Delicious Libertine as a place to explore the iconography and connotations of food, of eating, and of exploration. The format is simple: alternating posts of pictures and short fiction. The pictures are of things I'm eating, cooking, or finding; the fiction places food at the center of the human experience.

Onion soup for the soul

Onion soup on a Sunday eve

Yes, it is warm outside. Yes, onions are nowadays more likely to show-up – sliced and peeled – on a hamburger. But, there is something about a truly inspired bowl of onion soup to focus the senses. Long-caramelized onions, garni, veal and beef stock, stale bread, and two layers (yes…two layers) of Gruyere to finish.
