Flexibility is an essential component of good cooking. You should never feel locked into a recipe or a menu unless it involves a basic principle regarding procedure or technique such as those involved in bread-making and pastry. I don’t ever want to write anything in this book that is so precise that the reader must invoke great powers of concentration on every last detail in order to ensure the success of a recipe or a dinner; ingredients are simply too variable. I want to suggest the expected taste; I want to suggest the appearance of the complete dish; I want to suggest the combination of ingredients; and I want to suggest the overall harmony and balance of the meal. Then it will be up to you to determine the correct balance and composition. Perhaps the garlic is sharp and strong, and you will use it sparingly in a particular presentation, or you may find the garlic to be sweet and fresh, and you will want to use twice as much!
Learn to trust your own instincts. A good cook needs only to have positive feelings about food in general, and about the pleasures of eating and cooking. I have known some cooks who did not seem to discover pleasure and gratification in things culinary. At the restaurant, I look for employees who are interested in working in the kitchen for reasons above and beyond those of simply needing a job, any job. This applies equally to the home cook: a cook who dislikes food is a bad cook. Even an ambivalent cook is a bad cook. Yet, a person who responds to the cooking processes and the mound of fresh ingredients with a genuine glow of delight is likely to be, or become, a very good cook indeed. Technical skills can be acquired and perfected along the way, but dislike or ambivalence toward food cannot always be overcome.
In the early stages of my culinary pursuits, I cooked as I had seen cooking done in France. I copied some of the more traditional cooks, and I stayed within the bounds they had laid out so carefully because I didn’t trust my own instincts yet. Having imitated their styles, I found that with time and experience, their fundamental principles had become a part of my nature and I began to understand why they had done certain things in a particular way. Then, I could begin to develop a different and more personal style based on the ingredients available to me here in California. [br] The author talks about cooking from the perspective of______.
选项
A、a restaurant owner
B、a successful practitioner of the culinary art
C、a restaurant chef
D、a gifted cook
答案
B
解析
写作视点。作者表达写作视点的句子包括第二段“I look for employees who are interested in working in the kitchen…This applies equally to the home cook”,第三段“I cooked as I had seen cooking done in France”及最后一句“I could begin to develop a different and more personal style based on the ingredients available to me here in California”。显然,作者不是烹饪理论家,而是践行者(practitioner),而且很成功(successful)。因此,选项B符合要求。【知识拓展】与写作意图一样,写作视点也体现作者的意图、情感、态度、价值观等因素。这些因素在原文中都有蛛丝马迹可寻。需要提醒的是,这些线索往往不是集中出现的,需要在阅读过程中搜寻(如本题解析所示)并予以综合分析。
