Let me begin my presentation with Anton Mosimann’s philosophy:
"Nothing comes solely by chance".
Chicken should taste like chicken and fish like fish. That's vital. So many people try to overpower good produce. Keep it simple. Our profession is one where you must give and be happy with it."

Anton’s Early Days

Anton Mosimann was born on February 23, 1947, the only child of Swiss restaurateurs in the Jura Mountains.
He begins his book “The Essential Mosimann” with this lovely childhood memory, “I can still remember, as clearly as if it were only yesterday the sweet smell of dark, sugared fruit bubbling in the heavy copper preserving pan. My mother loved making jams and jellies and on these days the fragrance would fill the whole house, moving in a warm, fruity and sweet steam from the restaurants kitchen to our flat upstairs”

Anton Mosimann spent his early years in Nidau, near Biel helping his parents run their own restaurant where he developed both a love for food and a desire to become a cook. The first taste he clearly remembers is that of Emmental cheese.
"It was so tasty and so different from my previous food of vegetables and cereals."
Anton learned from an early age that there is noting more satisfying for a chef than seeing a stack of empty plates after a good meal.

When Anton was fifteen he received an unexpected call from the nearby Hotel Baeren in Twann. The owner of the hotel was looking for a new apprentice chef to work in his kitchens as

    In auteur theory, a term originated by film critic Andrew Sarris in his essay, "Notes on the Auteur Theory"16, there is a desire to outline the personal vision of the director. This is said to be the key instrument to understanding filmmaking. In addition, he writes the question is how does a director express personal vision? The concern is how this theory is used to examine the initial “obsessions” and “thematic preoccupations” of the director versus the original creator or author. This essentially becomes a study or attempt to outline the director's desire and/or personal statement.…

    Food provokes lively, warm, jovial feelings for me; this is especially true during the holidays. Baked goods still sparks my olfactory sense and makes me reminisce of Christmas. When I recall these memories I am at my grandmother’s house as a young child. It starts when the oven door opens, vapors of brown sugar waft through the kitchen and the caramelized, buttery aroma with lingering scents of cinnamon. For me, these memories fill me with joy and always evoke a grin. This feeling are even stronger when I recall, in particular, baguettes. My interest in bread became irrepressible at the beginning of my cooking career, and developed into a obsessive urge to create perfection the more I focused on it.…

    Fascinating stories have been passed down orally from one generation to the next, since Adam and Eve’s existence. Many individuals would share their stories about the powerful gods, ancient cities, romances, and the great warriors that fought to be remembered. However, for Heinrich Schliemann, it was Homer’s inspirational poem about the Trojan War that changed his life forever. Schliemann is notorious for chasing Homer’s description of Troy. It was a childhood dream for him to find the ruins of the marvelous city. During Schliemann’s search for the vast city of Troy, he discovered numerous of cities, jewels, and unearthed tombs that were full of gold. With each one of the objects that he unearthed, Schliemann was able to associate it with a verse from Homer’s Iliad. He knew every line from the Iliad, and used it as a guide to find Troy. Even though his discoveries were absolutely jaw dropping, many believed that they were not authentic artifacts, due to his reputation around the academic world. Schliemann was known for being an uneducated habitual liar with bad ethics, who could not be trusted very often. He looted numerous amounts of his discoveries, lied to get his way, and cheated people out of their shares of the finds. Schliemann’s egotistical personality was damaging towards his investigation, since he was so caught up in becoming the famous scholar, who proved Homer’s poem to be true. Despite the immeasurable amount of damage that he caused with his lying, and impatient digging technique; Schliemann’s discoveries, enthusiasm, and concepts opened the door for the future of modern archaeology.…

    The result is illustrated in Seated Female Nude with Raised Right Arm (1910, 45x32cm), a carefully finished piece submitted to Josef Hoffmann at the Wiener Werkstätte. Carefully outlined in black crayon on tinted paper, watercolor has been used to decorate the figure in a muted warm palette of orange, yellow green and ochre; the tiny wedge of cerulean blue above the head adds a complementary color accent. The line shows a tendency to peak at points of tension (the outline of the hip, the top edge of the left shoulder and forearm), a trick that makes the contour static but not heavy. The effect is decorative, to suit the postcards and knicknacks turned out by the workshop, but the figure also seems tense or vigilant, as if waiting for mother to burst through the door. For the red hair, dark straight eyebrows and slim figure confirm that this is Schiele's favorite model from these years: his younger sister Gertrude (Gerti), whom Schiele drew obsessively from childhood up until she broke off nude modeling at age 16.…

    Schlosser begins his essay but discreetly describing the Simplot plant location where the first French beans and fried potatoes were first made. He describes the way to the plant and the population of the Aberdeen town, giving directions to the exact location of the plant. Using words such as ‘turn right’, ‘an old hamburger stand exemplifies this fact. He also describes the plant as being low and square, clean and neat. This technique immediately establishes the essay as informative and public. It is a great way to capture the reader’s interest. Schlosser arouses emotions of smell when he uses imagery in form of a simile in introducing the plant. He simply says” it smells like someone is cooking potatoes”(Schlosser 20). Similes used in this form makes the essay to be fairly interesting, by lightening the mood of the essay (Longaker 24). It is also quite easy for readers to relate to personal experiences of smelling something.…

    Family vs. Fine Dining

    We all have seen a plate of food that makes us want to curl on the sofa, turn on the television and look at a good movie or television show and devour that whole plate in the opening credits of the flick. That is the feelings that comfort foods give rise to. That is the aspiration of family dining experience to transport that feeling to each plate and every guest they serve. This is achieved by plating that looks full and has the manifestation of tastiness. Portion control is not the primary factor in plating. Now at the other end of the spectrum, there is fine dining, which some may view as the better or the higher end of the culinary industry? Fine dining is all about the art of the food and showcasing it in the most unique form that the chef could bring forth from inside the mind. It can be match up to, Picasso with paint, so is a Chef with food, the plate becomes the blink center canvas; it is the visual stimulation that they are appealing to, just as much as the taste. That is achieved by the protein of the meal becoming the star and the vegetables, starch and sauces filling the supporting actor’s roles, working together in harmony to awaken all the senses and amaze the recipient of the plate.…
