Slow food - a tastier life
we are so in a hurry to live, we run through life, when, can say we do not live... We have no time to enjoy the moment, see lots of beautiful things.
In my ears, and now there are tempting slogans about food: "You will quickly make it", "usually made", "long lasting", "very simple" and so on. Of course, the consumer dictates the demand, so I do not blame the creators. Everywhere we always expect, we even demand speed and simplicity. However, this does not always coincide with the quality, taste of the arts and masters' beliefs.
The "5-minute" style of dishes has come with the need to have everything here and now. Food loses its great and true value - the pleasure of process, discovery and enjoyment.
Slow food
Understanding the Quick Food Threats, 1986 Carlo Petrin in Italy set up a Flow Food organization, which has spread all over the world. Their partners are also in Lithuania. The main goal of the organization is to reduce the crop of fast food, to preserve the old traditions of food production and culinary heritage.
Through the organization of educational projects, the organization seeks to remind us that food is one of the greatest pleasures that we can experience.
I am really fascinated by the strict discipline of Italian food. Not one of my acquaintances, Italian, is very sincere and unconditionally adhered to (self-explanatory) food agenda.
Even in larger cafes in the Italian supermarket until 19:00. you will not get hot food. From 17 o'clock - except aperitif or light snacks. And the empty stomach is not a valid reason to break old rules that have always been there in Italy today! There is no need for big fantasies to understand why and how the Italians enjoy the long-awaited dinner. After all, think about it in advance, consider what kinds of dishes you choose, how to combine them, and so on. After work, you no longer need to rush, so enjoy all the moments, scents and tastes of the process.
On the contrary, "fast food" fan countries are increasingly accelerating the process of food production and eating so that more time remains for other things and concerns.
Market - do not miss it
How do you start Saturday or Sunday morning? I suspect that you will spend time waking up in bed later on, trying to do the scheduled weekend work, get calls, turn your head and make plans for another week. Leave on a Saturday phone at home and pull it into the market ...
Having plunged into market life, you will not only buy homemade food, but also recive the fun rules of communication right here, in the long run you will understand the "market terms", you will enter into a relaxing atmosphere. Well, finally - choose from the many offers your "best" product. The market is a great place to regain the emotional balance, it's just important not to hurry up, to choose, to wonder what and where to negotiate, and to pay a little more!
Table servicing - not just during the holidays
A dining table is not a place for political debate. Enjoy the whole family for dinner. Even if it's a simple weekday dinner, do not pan the table with a nicer look (put on beautiful napkins, or even put a tablecloth). Beautiful environment, beautifully appetizing food suppresses negative emotions, stimulates some trick, suppresses the desire to put food into your mouth as quickly as possible and dart from the table.
Never think that you can not do anything. It was difficult to produce good food in the time of Rome, when the products were transported for thousands of miles a long time, but nobody complained about that. Nowadays, the stalls are loaded with food and various goodies, often they overlook.
If you are in a hurry to manufacture more sophisticated recipes, start with a simpler one. But start ... Because life does not matter how much you have accumulated, but you can afford yourself a decent amount of excellence every day.
