Had a session with Ellen yesterday. I will use French Cuisine as a metapor, rather than an analogy because a metaphor is more active and assertive and with Ellen, you need that.

With Ellen, it is choosing Caille en sarcophage over fish and chips. Both fills the stomach but the french's arguably constitutes a more defining and rewarding experience. And literally, its no $$$ no eat.

Ellen is Haute Cuisine; she is elaborate in her presentation, pays close attention to details, provides impeccable service and brings out the "natural flavours in fresh ingredients". It is best enjoyed slowly accompanied by a nice glass of Romanee Conti.

In essense, Ellen is a gastronomical treat. I will give her a Michelin 1 Star, "very good in its category and worth a stop".
