I’ve been snowboarding for the previous few days at Whistler, in Western Canada. I really like snowboarding as a result of when you’ve realized the fundamentals, it’s a totally joyful sport. I additionally love snowboarding as a result of it takes you solely out of on a regular basis life. It forces you to concentrate on what you’re doing, to see the snow in entrance of you, and make speedy choices all the way in which down the slope. There’s no probability for electronic mail/texts/Instagram/expertise to interrupt.

Having these ideas about snowboarding jogged my memory of one other exercise that requires an analogous focus and brings me an analogous pleasure: cooking. However after I’m cooking at dwelling, I’ve usually allowed expertise to creep in. I’ll hearken to podcasts whereas chopping; I am going to textual content whereas sautéing; I’ll electronic mail whereas a roast rooster rests. And doing all that multitasking has typically made cooking appear to me extra like a job to finish. It is disadvantaged me of a few of its innate alternatives and pleasures. Maybe you’ll be able to relate?

In 2025, I plan to get again to the enjoyment of cooking, to relishing the quiet of the kitchen and the main target of utilizing my arms and senses to create meals. Even when it requires me locking my telephone in a protected.

In my final e-newsletter I discussed that I used to be heading to Whistler, and invited any of you who could be there to fulfill up. And meet up we did!

I additionally had a beer with Charlie on the Mallard Lounge within the Fairmont Lodge. Charlie has her personal catering firm, Sobremesa Catering, in Vancouver and Whistler. She shared loads of good native particulars, every little thing from the ski/snowboarding pants of the second—very dishevelled, like these—to the standard of life in Whistler (the tax base is so excessive that the native sanitation division broadcasts jazz music on the city dump). After we met, she went dwelling and made this fondue recipe.
