She’s speaking of Chef’s Table France personality Adeline Grattard’s Michelin-​starred restaurant in the 1st arrondissement, which she walked into with the intention of asking for a job. Grattard’s concoctions often mingle contradictory flavors, like an airy Chinese bun filled with Stilton and Amarena cherry, and Moko felt that the two of them spoke the same language. “She plays around with herbs and spices in her desserts, and our sweet levels were in sync,” Moko says. Grattard created a position for her, and while it didn’t last long (Moko became pregnant), much of Moko’s baking philosophy stems from her time there.

Travis Dickinson, the former executive chef at Clover, and Justin Curtis, the former front-of-the-house manager at Clover, teamed up to open a fast-casual but gourmet walk-up counter taco shop in downtown Spokane. The setting is fun and approachable, with a Day-of-the-Dead-style logo and murals. Tacos are served on 5-inch corn tortillas that are made in-house. Salsas and sauces – such as salsa verde, guacamole and a pumpkin seed salsa – are also made in-house. So are the tortilla chips, aguas frescas and horchata. Tacos include pork cheek carnitas, al pastor, lamb birria, carne asada, chicken, mushroom, chorizo, rockfish and (my favorite) octopus. Karina’s Bowl, named for Dickinson’s wife, features a choice of taco meat, beans, rice, guacamole, queso fresco, crema, pico de gallo and chips or tortillas. Margaritas are a specialty. So is the Watermelon Man, with tequila, lime, cider vinegar, watermelon, simple syrup and tajin, a chile-lime seasoning. 10 N. Post St. (509) 474-9618. cochinitotaqueria.com.

Monou, South Melbourne: Seared kobujime scampi sashimi Aleksandra Bliszczyk, contributor Scampi, arguably the sweetest of all crustacea, pairs magically well with a host of flavours, and it’s also gobsmackingly delicious solo. My new favourite way to take it is ever-so-slightly seared, lying on rough cubes of barely set dashi jelly and equally rough cubes of equally gelatinous eggplant. This playful dish at Monou is sweet, savoury, and full of surprising textures.

Kanye’s also fussy about his carpets. "Bumpy" is how GQ reported Kanye West finding regular carpets. The solution? Have them ironed.
