When Dad and I were living in Geneva by ourselves, he had to learn a
lot about cooking. He'd always cooked occasionally around the house,
but now it was every night. Dad cooked like a true chemist:
everything was measured to the milliliter and timed to the second.
All ingredients were laid out on the counter beforehand in the order
that they'd be needed, and not a word could be said to distract
him.
For all that, his menu was pretty narrow. The only dishes I remember
eating that year were omelets, cheese fondue, and breaded veal
cutlets. We couldn't possibly have had one of those three every night
for a year, but I can't recall ever eating anything else.
