When growing up in Washington DC, a friend of mine had a painting hanging in his family’s home titled “Arundel XXXIC” by the artist Ann Truitt. I was very taken by that painting and thought of it many times over the next 25 years. Maybe it was the simplicity of the pale colors or perhaps the complexity of the thought behind it. Recently, when contemplating a mid winter menu, I was again reminded of “White on White”. It began with a perfect cauliflower, pure and flawless. Bright and white with tight curds surrounded by pale green leaves.
