In the final column of a 15-year journey, the author reflects on the misconceptions and cultural phenomena surrounding food. They argue that individual foods are not health remedies and emphasize the importance of a balanced diet. Concepts such as detoxification and trends like glucose monitoring are dismissed as fads. The author critiques the moralization of food, championing enjoyment over appearance, and urges readers to appreciate the complexities of cooking. Practical advice includes taking good kitchen utensils on trips, and recognizing the value of all parts of an animal in cooking.
The kitchen knives in holiday rentals are always terrible; take your own. Hyper-expensive foods are never about deliciousness; they are about status.
People have morals but food doesn't, so don't describe dishes as dirty. And stop it with the whole clean eating thing.
