A

Chez Panisse by Alice Waters is one of the very first cookbooks I got. My father gave me a copy at Christmas when I was 18, and it’s been with me ever since. It’s a beautiful book. In it, there is a dish of mussels (贻贝), fennel, saffron and crème fraiche. It is simple and delicious. It was probably the first recipe (菜谱) I cooked from the book and I still have it on the menu at my restaurant today.

Mussels are really beautiful in autumn. When you cook seasonally, you use whatever you have at hand, and each time an ingredient comes back in season, you are so happy to see it. So each autumn, we will often want to push ourselves to do something new, but there’s also something nice about cooking a dish you’ve always cooked. It’s like going back to old friends, like going home. Even if your mother wasn’t the greatest cook in the world, there would always be something she made that still tastes of comfort. For me, it’s my mum’s cherries. When I was a child, cherries would mark the end of the school year. We’d always get a box of each when school was out for the summer. I remember sitting in the garden, moving cherries in pairs and spitting out the pips (籽), hoping a tree would grow.

Food should take you somewhere special like that — not in a confusing, but in a nurturing way, for both your body and your soul. It should take you to a happy place. Someone I work with said all my recipes were memory-bound.

No cook has influenced me more than Alice: her whole approach to food, valuing farmers, pushing for organics, for good, clean soil. She has made me think about food waste and sustainability (持续性), and about how food can contribute to a solution to wider issues. And Chez Panisse takes me back to that moment in my life when it all started when I fell in love with cooking. Thirty-five years on, I still feel the same.
