There is no conflict between a better meal and a better world.

I would love to eat a really great burger, but it doesn't exist in our part of the world.

If you see how a plant grows and you taste it in situ you have a perfect example of how it should taste on the plate.

When you get close to the raw materials and taste them at the moment they let go of the soil, you learn to respect them.

I can't crack jokes because I don't have any.

But when spring and summer happens, it's intuition. Everything is based on intuition. There's not too much time to overthink, over-complicate. Those wild strawberries, they might be there for two days.

That's how people make sense of a meeting: they eat something. If they were in a sad moment it would be the same thing, they'd be eating something. It's what makes life fun. We don't need it to be delicious or great or all these things if we're just to survive. But it's one of those things that makes life fun, livable. And the more I submerge myself in it, the more fun I seem to have.
