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.
The author is trying to______.
选项
A、persuade her readers to follow every detail
B、provide precise approaches to successful cooking
C、limit herself to basic principles and procedures
D、leave room to her readers for the art of cookery
答案
D
解析
写作意图。文章第一段第三句说“I don’t ever want to write anything…so precise that…concentration on every last detail…of a recipe or a dinner…”第二段第一句接着说“Learn to trust your own instincts”,然后第三段以个人经历为例证,清楚表明了自己的态度:读者可以在烹饪中自由发挥、创造。【知识拓展】写作意图(以及大意概括)类的试题可以通过各种情态表达推断出来。如上面解析部分的句子就是例证。阅读时需要留意这类表达,必要时予以勾画,在阅读过程中形成基本的判断。
