the relationship
with food is simpler – it is
an end in itself
From the article, “The day I cooked timpano with Stanley Tucci“ by Jay Rayner (The Guardian, Sun 17 Oct 2021) where Mr. Rayner writes:
While it cooks, we sit outside in the shade of a broad spreading tree and talk.
I suggest he seems very much in his happy place, cooking.
“I am,” he says. “It gives me great pleasure.”
Does he really enjoy it more than acting?
“If it’s the right acting project, I’m happy and excited about it,” he says.
“Some films you do because the role is exciting, or for the money.
Or it’s Supernova with Colin Firth and you say yes, I will go to the Lake District for no money because the story is beautiful.”
His relationship with food is simpler.
“Sometimes with acting I think ‘what a beautiful thing to do’, and at other times I think, ‘what a wasted life’.
But food, that’s an end in itself.”
