It’s finding a balance, making sure you’re feeding your creativity in the things that inspire you, and trying to make the things that you’re not so hot on as quick and easy as possible... We live in a society that is very time-poor, and it is easy to lose that time and not have the time you need in the kitchen. Alison
Even though this seems to be a podcast all about doing things the challenging, slow, ancestral way - we actually love doing things the easy way! We are big believers in finding the best of both worlds, and merging ancestral food wisdom with convenience in our modern kitchens (indoor plumbing, anyone?).

Why can’t we take the best of both worlds? Why do we have to go so hard one way or the other? Why can’t we say look, there was a lot of wisdom, there was some stuff that wasn’t so good, but take the things that are valuable and continue to use them. You’re marrying that wisdom of how cabbage can be treated, but finding that shortcut. Andrea
