Este libro abarca nada más y nada menos, que la loable tarea de acercarnos al “Arte fundamental de la Vida”, es decir, el “arte de la alimentación”. Este arte a lo largo de la historia, ha tenido muchas interpretaciones ya que ha sido, es y seguirá siendo esencial para la identidad, la biología y la cultura humana. De hecho, hemos creído durante mucho tiempo que nosotros cocinamos los alimentos, pero hoy estamos vislumbrando que en realidad, ellos nos han cocinado a nosotros. Es curioso pensar que vivimos en una época en que los cocineros profesionales se han vuelto casi tan famosos como estrellas de cine, sin embargo, la arquitectura moderna, delimita cada vez, el espacio de la cocina a simples cubículos que han perdido totalmente su identidad, transformándose en parte del living con una simple barra que los separa. O que pasamos muchas horas viendo programas de cocina pero luego terminamos llamando al delivery. El tiempo que empleamos en cocinar se redujo a casi nada, sin embargo, pensamos en comida, igual que desde aquellos tiempos en que vivíamos en las cavernas. Paradojas culinarias de la vida moderna que este libro nos invita a re-pensar. A lo largo de las siguientes páginas, tendremos la oportunidad de replantearnos qué significa realmente el “arte culinario”. El libro que el lector tiene entre sus manos, invita a reciclar, reconectar, revalorar y readaptar el concepto de lo que creemos implica este arte tan vapuleado, que es el de elegir qué nos llevamos a la boca, lo cual más tarde o más temprano, va a ser parte constitutiva propia ya que como se ha dicho muchas veces, literalmente: “somos lo que comemos”.
