Do you remember this quote in Lord of the Rings ? ' This task was appointed to you and if you do not find a way, no one will' Well, lately, I sort of thought that it was addressed to me. My name is not Frodo though, it is Tsito, I am from Madagascar, the big island at the foot of Africa. When I accepted to embark into the new african cook book venture and assist Ingmar and Sean during their trip in Madagascar, I didn't thought that the mystical
arts of food stylism would be revealed to me…At the airport, when I saw the equipment they were carrying, I told myself, gosh this story is getting serious
so I hold my breath and tried to show my brightest Malagasy smile...
As I found
myself immersed into the creative process (a fancy way to say that I was
watching Ingmar and Sean working) I felt like I was a food aesthete. No seriously, seeing
one country with the eyes of a foreigner is probably an ability many of us want
to have, and I suppose that I caught a glimpse of that experience…My eyes and
my palate were delighted and I can definitely say that playing with food is so enjoyable and should not be forbidden (mum if you read this post)
