Jeremy Van Hill and his wife Jen decide what to try first from an array of food that they and fellow classmates prepared at a cooking class in Cambridge, Mass. in 2011.

Flimsies were American diners, who had a fear of food. Fluffies were French diners, who loved fancy food.

Flimsies were people who weren’t serious about food. Fluffies cared too much, and were overly gourmet-ish.

Flimsies were cooks who weren’t brave enough in the kitchen. Fluffies were cooks whose food tasted good, but they didn’t use the proper techniques.

Flimsies were writers who gave up after hitting road-blocks. Fluffies were writers who used too many complicated terms.
