Have you noticed as everything is going faster and faster? At the time of digital, we have access to a million things in a second and, if that has great advantages, sometimes all this instantaneity ends up giving us dizzy. We would almost forget something so simple, so obvious, so necessary for happiness and our balance: take the time.
Because luxury today is not so much to have everything at hand, but rather to offer time to do things ...
Besides, Gilles Clément, a great Jardinier writer (yes, "best job in the world" if you ask us :)), has one day written that " To make a garden, you need a piece of earth and eternity. »» We find that it is also very true in the kitchen.
First of all because cooking, season and local, imposes its rhythm. You have to be patient with the fruits and vegetables, to taste them at the best time, when they are the most crunchy, the tastiest ... You also have to be ingenuity (and a little elbow oil!) To keep them. Certainly, Doing a jar sometimes takes a little time, but what a joy, what a joy to be able to taste syrup strawberries In the middle of winter, right?
And then This time spent in the kitchen is never lost time. The preserves is even a delicious means of deciding on its future and, Above all, to resume your time in hand. Goodbye the time trial, finished running, thanks to the good dishes that we have previously preserved (and which await us all the pretends in our cupboards!), We go to the table in 2 stages 3 movements. And finally the longest, when you want to make pasta to the Bolognese, it's to cook the pasta! We then take the time to enjoy everyday life in a more free, lighter way ... To fully live the present, to live better in short.
The preserves is finally a heritage, a transmission, a little eternity in a jar. These are the recipes that we share with the family, the culinary nuggets that we offer to your loved ones. Jars that asked us for a little time ... but which follow us from home to house, from generation to generation.
And if suddenly, this month, you took the time to make the following season recipes? :)
