“One day, it finally struck me what was so odd about this kitchen: It had no walk-in refrigerators to store food, no food processors to prepare mayonnaise, no industrial mixers to make bread or pasta. Other than the basic equipment I described, it was ‘unplugged.’ It was here that I learned how extremely gratifying and sensual it is to cook by hand. You are guided by all of your senses, rather than by machines, and the food you make maintains its integrity and flavor. It grounds you in the task.”—Jody Williams
