今天节目最后,给大家放一段Osteria Francescana老板兼主厨Massimo Bottura的话:
In Italy you have a very deep culture about food, culture about artisans. You can easily lose yourself into nostalgia, and with nostalgia you don't evolve, especially with a countrywith such a deep tradition. I'm breaking my past to rebuild it through a contemporary mind. It's exactly what we do every day in Osteria. I am Massimo Bottura. I'm the chef of Osteria Francescana in Modena.
“意大利有着非常深厚的美食文化和工匠文化。如果你处于这样传统深重的国家,你会很容易在怀旧气息中迷失自己。
沉迷于旧日印痕,你就止步不前了。而我要用现代的思想去打破、去重塑这种文化。这正是我们每天在Osteria所做的事。我是Massimo Bottura。我是Modena的Osteria Francescana餐厅的主厨。”
