Flexibility is an essential component of good cooking. You should never feel locked into a recipe or a menu unless it involves a basic principle regarding procedure or technique such as those involved in bread-making and pastry. I don’t ever want to write anything in this book that is so precise that the reader must invoke great powers of concentration on every last detail in order to ensure the success of a recipe or a dinner; ingredients are simply too variable. I want to suggest the expected taste; I want to suggest the appearance of the complete dish; I want to suggest the combination of ingredients; and I want to suggest the overall harmony and balance of the meal. Then it will be up to you to determine the correct balance and composition. Perhaps the garlic is sharp and strong, and you will use it sparingly in a particular presentation, or you may find the garlic to be sweet and fresh, and you will want to use twice as much!
Learn to trust your own instincts. A good cook needs only to have positive feelings about food in general, and about the pleasures of eating and cooking. I have known some cooks who did not seem to discover pleasure and gratification in things culinary. At the restaurant, I look for employees who are interested in working in the kitchen for reasons above and beyond those of simply needing a job, any job. This applies equally to the home cook: a cook who dislikes food is a bad cook. Even an ambivalent cook is a bad cook. Yet, a person who responds to the cooking processes and the mound of fresh ingredients with a genuine glow of delight is likely to be, or become, a very good cook indeed. Technical skills can be acquired and perfected along the way, but dislike or ambivalence toward food cannot always be overcome.
In the early stages of my culinary pursuits, I cooked as I had seen cooking done in France. I copied some of the more traditional cooks, and I stayed within the bounds they had laid out so carefully because I didn’t trust my own instincts yet. Having imitated their styles, I found that with time and experience, their fundamental principles had become a part of my nature and I began to understand why they had done certain things in a particular way. Then, I could begin to develop a different and more personal style based on the ingredients available to me here in California.
According to the passage, the author is _____.
选项
A、complaining about her employees
B、criticizing her opponents
C、analyzing her impact on cooking
D、narrating her pursuit as a culinary artist
答案
D
解析
从最后一段可知,作者先是模仿传统厨师,接着开始理解他们的做法,最后发展出自己的风格,因此作者是在陈述她作为烹饪艺术家的追求,故选D。A“抱怨她的员工”、B“批评她的对手”和C“分析她对烹饪的影响”均无原文依据,故排除。
