cooking through one of her books right now. 

 

solid flavors all the time 

 

very healthy food  - I think the flavors depend more on fermentation, drying (to concentrate flavors), and meat is used to garnish the main (which is a vegetable) rather than the reverse. 

 

like..it seems like American French / Italian depend a lot for flavor on: heavy cream, butter, cheese or something very heavy a lot 

 

welcome contrast for healthier diet sometimes
