Let'srediscover together the taste of quiet time spent at home, alone or with family, and engage in all those activities we kept putting off because 'I never have time.' Let's experiment with objects such as the soda bottle or the Kilner jar; find inspiration in a good cookbook and start cooking at home, or get excited by reading 'The Little Bartender'; discover new techniques such as vacuum cooking, now accessible to everyone; get curious about the sprouts that grow before our eyes in the sprouter and try out usually professional tools such as the smoker, the professional blowtorch, the immersion roner; let' s prepare a cocktail for our sweetheart, perhaps thanks to Bruno Vanzan's book; or let's simply learn to rediscover those flavors of home that today's life and its frenzy have taken away from us such as the grater, the mandoline, the sac a poche.
Let us thank this slowed down time punctuated by calls to 'stay home' for reminding us of the pleasure of being together and taking care of each other with small gestures, such as dusting off an old grandmother's recipe thanks to tools such as the ravioli mold or pasta wheel or trying out a new one, choosing from pans, pots and casseroles.
Let's allow ourselves the luxury of staying at home, and then leave again after this cursed isolation, with a clear mind and a house full of inviting kitchen scents through products such as pepper mill, salt mill, spice grater, ginger grater... to cook at home and offer to friends as soon as life starts again.
