What is a Gourmand

A Gourmand is a person who takes great
pleasure in food and drinks. Different than
the Gourmet who is someone that has a
sophisticated palate, the Gourmand enjoys
the pleasures given by good food and
drinks, without the complication normally
associated with the Gourmet world.

I started as a Gourmet, and over the years my love for the pleasures of good
food and good drinks became bigger than my love of the rituals, rules and the
complications normally associated with the Gourmet world. For the last 15
years I converted myself to a Gourmand and I have been crusading to
demystify and simplify the pleasures associated with good food and good
drinks. My goal is to teach and help everyone who has an interest in good food
and good drinks to appreciate this sensual subject. We have to remember that
the pleasures of the table are the only ones that are essential for our survival
as an individual. That is probably why that some consider them a sin!
