When a recipe calls for a whole chopped onion, most of us start by cutting through the top and root sections, removing the layers of paper-thin skin, then inspecting for any skanky layers or black sooty mould that can sometimes lie in the inner layers. The waste is discarded without much thought.
I have a memory of my grandmother standing over me, inspecting the detritus and making sure I wasn't being a 'wasteful chef'.
Our lives, like the onions we use, can be dissected layer by layer, and sorted into the good bits and the bad bits. The stories in this book delve into some of the layers of my life - the good and the bad - including the people, the lessons, and the recipes that sustained me through them.
I lived through a war, not the conventional kind with guns and bombs and grenades and trenches, but one just as lethal. I watched most of my friends suffer gruesome deaths during the HIV/AIDS War, and many of them are now all but lost to history, faces on an old photo often cut out of the frame by their own families, falsely declared dead from cancer or some other disease, their memories tainted by lies and shame.
Then there's my story. As I laid down my memories and examined my history, I looked for a thread, something that unified all parts of my life: the good, the bad and the ugly. In my case, the Case of Greg Kelly, food has threaded together all facets of my life: career, family, friends and history. The recipes in this book aren't a list of ingredients and cooking instructions. They are memories. They are history. They are meals shared with those that I've loved and in turn loved me. They are the culinary expressions of events happening at specific times of my life.
