I’M A SUCKER for a girl that makes me laugh. Laughter is not something we readily associate with eating out, but cooking needs wit as well as skill and intelligence.

Heston Blumenthal has his snail porridge, Rene Redzepi serves live ants and edible dirt, and the Roca brothers have a dish of food you drink and wine you eat. Jess Murphy’s food always makes me smile. Sometimes because it is witty and smart, and sometimes because it is so pleasurable.
