NOTES FROM A PRIVILEGED LOCKDOWN – DAY 8

(Falling behind! Seriously starting to lose track of time. I feel like I am in an eternal Sunday: a sort of non-punishing version of the Groundhog Day). I wake up in a great reset mood, and look back at the Day-7 picture of that table I spent my low day at:– uninteresting papers everywhere,– my…

THE KITCHEN GOLDEN RULES:
(you already know them, don't you?)
  • 1) GO SEASONAL: strawberries in the winter? There is more flavour in missing them, than in eating them. There is always the right moment for each pleasure.
  • 2) GO LOCAL: for fresh produce, try something that wouldn't require a VISA if it were a person.
  • 3) INVEST IN QUALITY: have the best olive oil you can get your hands on. We promise it will make anything edible and healthy
  • 4) TAKE TIME: vacation begins when the journey starts, not when you get to destination...Make preparation enjoyable all the way.
  • 5) BE TOLERANT: when following a recipe: cooking is not an exact science! Organic eggs are not all the same size, hot dry weather can make your pasta dough extra-thirsty, arugola or peppers can be mild to super-spicy, etc
  • 6) MATCH WELL: most food will taste its best if paired appropriately. Being a good Food Matchmaker can actually save you tons of time in the kitchen and bring out the best in each ingredient. That goes for foods and wines, of course, just like for clothes. And people.
  • 7) SHARE THE REWARDS!. Only the first-time utmost masterpieces and the horrible kitchen disasters may gain from being eaten alone. Everything else is worth eating in company.
  • 8) SET A BEAUTIFUL TABLE. You know the story about wearing your pretty underwear everyday? Same: use your best tableware. It will enhance good work and muffle the blunders.
