Author Description

Cooking is not about following instructions, or submitting to a list of ingredients, or carefully planning your supermarket purchase. On the contrary, cooking is everything that happens in the margins of a recipe: it is improvising, taking risks, deciding. Cooking is being free. Against the extinction of this daring, against the no-time syndrome and the barbarism of a society that eats but does not cook, this book urges us to recover the meaning of the most primal act of life: feeding ourselves.
