On comfort food, the power of a wooden spoon, the only diet, rituals, crunch and the things we cook to anchor and soothe. Our book guest this week is The Secret of Cooking by Bee Wilson.
‘Cooking is a space in daily life to do something meaningful’ to use your hands and to establish repetitive rituals which mean something to you. It’s a way to recall people you have loved and lost and to be generous to the people who are still here (starting with yourself). It’s a chance to make the next day taste slightly better than the last. I sometimes think this is as close as most of us will ever come to living the dream’. Bee Wilson, The Secret of Cooking.
Show notes, links and more will be sent to our subscribers shortly. We hope you enjoy listening to this episode. And Bee, if you’re listening/reading - thank you for this book.
