慢食運(yùn)動(dòng)帶動(dòng)年輕人下廚房的風(fēng)潮,讓歐美各地都興起了一陣下班學(xué)烹飪,學(xué)習(xí)精工慢火的烹調(diào)風(fēng)尚。食物的香味、跟大家一起學(xué)習(xí)做菜的歡樂,甚至成為了一些上班族減壓的心靈綠洲。
What can we learn from Penne Rusticana or Paht Thai that we can’t learn from a Big Mac? Apparently, quite a bit. Especially if you have what Slow Food has — over 600 different convivia, or local chapters, around the world, compiling and distributing information about local foods, drinks and cultures. Slow Food and its sister organization, “the Ark of Taste”, work to preserve endangered foods, encourage bio-diversity, and support small-scale producers of ethnic and local products around the world. Slow Food even publishes guides to local restaurants that serve authentic, local foods at local prices (Most are written in Italian, but it’s a start!).
“慢食”是一股思潮,也是一種平衡,更是人對(duì)自己生活節(jié)奏的自主和把握。
And Slow Food is also about slow travel. There are a growing number of culinary tour operators that subscribe to the Slow Food Movement. The US-based “Friends and Food International” is a member of the network and sees its travel programs to Tuscany, Provence and India as "cultural and educational journeys using food and the people that produce it as the learning medium." In other words, if we are preserving culture through food, then we are also sharing that culture through tourism that is small, local, eco, culturally, and gastronomically-sensitive.
Which brings us to Slow Cities: entire communities dedicated to improving the quality of life for their citizens through environmentally sound, culturally-aware, eco-gastronomic policies and activities. And if that’s not enough to make you stop running, keep slowing down with numerous Slow Food events around the world, “the Slow Food Film Festival” and, “SLOW”, the organization’s quarterly magazine with outstanding articles about food culture around the world, including features on the highlights of African markets, how the Chinese use ltovers, Australian pizzas and the initiation rites of poultry killing in Spain.
If you’re like me and you travel to eat, Slow Food is as close to heaven as you can get. In fact, the Slow Food movement logo claims, "There are more tastes in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your gastronomy…" You just have to slow down to find them.
“慢食不僅僅是給我們的味蕾尋找美味,而且是為了保留我們的人性?!边@是世界慢食協(xié)會(huì)的發(fā)起人卡洛·佩特里尼(CARLO PETRINI)最為著名的觀點(diǎn)?,F(xiàn)代化城市中快節(jié)奏的生活正以生產(chǎn)力的名義破壞我們的生活和環(huán)境。我們要以慢慢吃為開始,反抗快節(jié)奏的生活。目前已有很多人把“慢食運(yùn)動(dòng)”提到了生物醫(yī)學(xué)和人生哲學(xué)的高度。因此,何不放慢腳步,一起來享受天堂般的慢食美味吧。
