And that you are taking this ingredient and you are imposing yourself on it.
This is so true what you're saying.
And...
And then the added insult is that often I hear chefs being interviewed and they say, who's the best chef?
And they say, my mom or my grandmom.
Show me a mom and grandmom who's in your kitchen.
They are not there.
There's also ageism.
And if you told me now to go chase a deer in a forest, deer will have gone to another continent by the time I even go near it.
But you asked me to cook with very few ingredients.
And this is the simplicity of a thing.
I will cook you a meal you will never forget.
But the problem is that the world will judge me, will look at my body shape, will look at my age, will look at my gray hair and decide she's not creative.
She's not dynamic.
She's not this muscular, tattooed, pierced monster who's screaming.
When was that ever something that was required to make a beautiful meal?
Our grandmothers, my grandmother, slight and small.
And, you know, you come into my kitchen, you'll see, you know, we've got women who are not even five feet.
They're small, they're bright, they're full of spark.
And they love to cook.
