MinÀ haluaisin kysyÀ, onko se nyt todella tÀrkeÀ tehtÀvÀ? Minusta tuntuu siltÀ, ettÀ jÀrjestelmÀllisessÀ jÀrjestelmÀllisessÀ jÀrjestelmÀllisessÀ jÀrjestelmÀllisessÀ jÀrjestelmÀllisessÀ jÀrjestelmÀllisessÀ jÀrjestelmÀllisessÀ
Someone once said to me, well, you just write about cake.
I think one of the gifts of youth is you don't know what you don't know. So I agree with you. When you look back at my old columns, I'm horrified. So I don't do that either. But I did know that I needed to know how to cook if I wanted to write about it. I knew that in order to be taken seriously, in order to feel good about what I was doing. And so going to cooking school was part of it. Working in restaurants was part of it. I've also written a lot of cookbooks about
Useimmat ovat olleet mahtajien kanssa. Olen kirjoittanut kokonaiskirjoja mahtajien kanssa, ja se oli hienoa, koska se on kuin yksi mahtava koulutus. Se on todella auttanut minua. Se, mitÀ minulle tuntuu olevan tÀrkeintÀ, on se, ettÀ olen työskennellyt noin 500 mahtavaa mahtavaa mahtavaa mahtavaa mahtavaa mahtavaa mahtavaa mahtavaa mahtavaa mahtavaa mahtavaa.
I feel like mind changes every single day. I don't have a typical day. I don't even have a typical week. I can tell you that I'm happiest when I'm in my kitchen developing recipes. That is my happy place. And then the worst part of my week is having to sit down and write my column. Why? Well, because I mean, I love writing, but you know those moments when you sit down at the computer and you're like...
Oh my god, what do I have to say about quiche again? I've already written about asparagus. I've written about asparagus every year since 2002. But yet you have to find the thing in yourself to make it fresh. And you do, but it's that momentary horror of the task at hand. Are you always looking to tell a story? Yeah.
TÀmÀ on paras tapa. Toisaalta se on kivaa. Kaikki kirjoittajat tarvitsevat kertoa, jotta voidaan kommunikoida. Haluat liittyÀ ihmisiin, ja se on paras tapa.
Vaikka minÀ edelleen tuntuvan erilaisista tarinoista, joita en voi kertoa, he eivÀt kertoa minulle. YmmÀrrÀn, ettÀ Yhdysvalloissa kukaan ei halua klikata tarinaa erilaisista tarinoista. MinÀ en voi saada taiteilijan tarinaa. Se on todella vaikeaa. Minun tÀytyy pysyÀ ja pysyÀ ja pysyÀ. MinÀ rakastan taiteilijaa. Jotkut asiat ovat varmasti tarinoita, ettÀ jos teen taiteilijan tarinaa, saan hieman enemmÀn nÀyttÀjÀÀ, kuin jos teen mahtavaa tarinaa.
So every once in a while they'll let me do it, and then they're like, okay, so how are those muffins going? What about the squid muffin? In my dreams. Squid focaccia, though, that could be a thing. Right? Yeah. Let's go. You're listening to The Food Chain from the BBC World Service.
That's how we think about it at the Times. For instance, we've really cut down on the number of beef recipes we publish because we just don't feel great about it. And if this is something that, you know, we don't tell anyone, it's not like we're preaching, hey, eat less beef, but it's something that we're showing by the recipes that we choose to publish. And it's also expensive. I mean, the thing about sustainability and economics is sustainable ingredients tend to be expensive.
Melissa on kysymys. Ruotsissa organisaatiot ovat hyvin kalliita.
How do you do about that? We don't call for organic ingredients, but we encourage it in the text when we can, without being preachy though. Again, it's like you have to walk that balance. You don't want to turn somebody off if they can't afford to buy the organic spinach.
Ja taas haluamme olla yksilöllisiÀ. Luulen, ettÀ kÀsittelemme on yksilöllisyyttÀ. Mutta henkilökohtaisesti, kun tekevÀn sammua, tunnen todella huonoa sammua. Luulen, ettÀ tekstissÀ sanotaan, ettÀ voi saada vihreÀÀ sammua tai muuta, joka on kestÀvÀmpi. Mutta se on henkilökohtainen valinta, ei yksilöllinen. Kuuletko, ettÀ sinulla on vaikutus siihen, mitÀ ihmiset syövÀt ja miten he syövÀt? Laura, sinulla ei ole.
But don't you also get like, especially I think for baking recipes, I get a lot like,
ja jossa ihmiset miettivÀt kommentteja. Se on todella hauskaa, koska se on hyvÀ tapa liittyÀ kuulijoille, kuulemaan, mitÀ he miettivÀt. He ovat niin hauskoja joskus. Joskus he ovat hankalaisia ja joskus he ovat tyhjiÀ. He voivat olla erittÀin tyhjiÀ. Olen aiemmin ruokannut tÀmÀn tÀmÀn ensimmÀisen tÀmÀn tÀmÀn tÀmÀn tÀmÀn tÀmÀn tÀmÀn tÀmÀn tÀmÀn tÀmÀn tÀmÀn
Yritys voi olla tapa kertoa kaikenlaisia tarinoita. Se ei ole vain tarinoita. Kun kirjoitat yritystÀ, kirjoitat poliitikasta, ekonomista, yhteiskuntaa ja yhteiskunnasta. Yritys sopii meitÀ kaikki ja se voi olla todella tÀrkeÀ tapa kertoa kaikenlaista tarinoita. Joten mielestÀni se on erittÀin tÀrkeÀÀ. Kun kirjoitat niitÀ tarinoita, sinun tÀytyy tietÀÀ poliitikasta, ekonomista tai mitÀ tahansa, mutta sinun tÀytyy myös tietÀÀ yritystÀ. Joten mielestÀni se on erittÀin tÀrkeÀÀ.
Especially if it's a way to get people into the story.
I think you should work on your writing and work on your cooking. I think that your craft and your skill is the most important thing you have. Find your voice, and you can do that through writing classes. You don't have to go to cooking school, but cook recipes, buy ingredients you've never bought before, read about food, read about food insecurity, read about regenerative agriculture, and really educate yourself in all these different ways.
