His reminiscences were very enjoyable: he spoke one time of making the perfect omelet (oval but with pointed ends) and spoke of apprentices scrambling to fix the pointed ends before they were clouted with a wooden spoon wielded by the master chef... Very engaging. If my house collapses from the weight of books, Master Squid, you will bear some of the blame!

He certainly worked hard to learn his trade but it is his talent and passion which carried him to such great heights.
