Leake outlines her own Puritan conversion narrative in which she progressed from a bleak existence, blinded and hobbled by the Standard American Diet (SAD, so sad); through faith healing at the hands of the real-food evangelist Michael Pollan; to a wholehearted embrace of organic living and her own blog-and-cookbook ministry. A version of this conversion informs several of the family cookbooks, and the story never fails to move me. I want to eat these women's dinners, sure. But more than that, I covet their confidence.
利克概述了自己改变美食信仰的经历:最初她被标准美国饮食(Standard American Diet,真是悲哀)蒙蔽,活得凄凄惨惨;后来在真正食物传播者迈克尔·波伦(Michael Pollan)的引导下改变了信仰;最后全心全意投入到有机生活和自己的“博客加烹饪书”的事业中。有好几本家庭烹饪书都讲述了这样的转变,但这样的故事从未打动过我。我当然想吃这些女人做的晚餐,但我更多的是羡慕她们的信心。
"I don't think there is ONE THING MORE IMPORTANT you can do FOR YOUR KIDS THAN HAVE FAMILY DINNER," is how Ruth Reichl, of Gourmet, is quoted (italics and caps not mine) in "The Family Dinner," by Laurie David, with recipes by Kirstin Uhrenholdt. Pomposity of this kind abounds in Laurie David books, and ultimately the books' apotheosizing of home cooking is more memorable in its aggression than the somewhat meeker recipes (Easy Cheesy Dinner Frittata, Turkey Meat Loaf, Your Favorite Grilled Cheese). No one thing more important for children than family dinner? I might have put "send them to school" or “hug them occasionally" at the top of that list.
