good then the default
LOL
and good note that for some reason
since for my life I always wondered
as well as philosophical things that I do here
do not know what I do here in the world that
I do what my destiny is not what I do here
in this scenario for example
when I fell in the pits of the
gastronomy at the beginning because it was not
different people ask me many things and
being in the school of gastronomy I
I asked good and what do I do here?
let’s start then what is the
gastronomy and what is its purpose
because there is no
Y
the first one was not so complicated because
I said good gastronomy is everything
what has nourished man since
always
nothing but the purpose there is
had a little bit of difficulty and in
That’s why I started asking my
comrades and told them hey and for you what
it’s gastronomy and they usually
they answered things like that the
gastronomy with the purpose to be the art
that enamors the senses and be at
vanguard and be the trend and
any paraphrase of this not which
it seemed a bit biased to me
it said good without true that is a part
no but gastronomy is much more
that not gastronomy is universal and
gastronomy is what you say and
It is also the tortilla and it is also the
humble soup that has fed the
population for years and all that is
gastronomy also and in your purpose not
include it not then keep thinking
a little and
and in that I remembered a little sticks
sharp to all these
camus in my head
and I said
there goes the ball in the party
the free post came out and he says look at me
remember that the purpose of medicine
is eradicating diseases and we do
and true that it is a challenge and I said
good and if the purpose of the
gastronomy is eradicating hunger
ask myself it’s okay there we go
but I leave now a little bit outside to
them and I say good but that’s what they
speak you could also understand how
Hunger is not hunger for something different is
hunger for something innovative then it
I could say that for me I came to a
conclusion the purpose of the
gastronomy is eradicating hunger
all kinds in its textual sense and that
metaphorical sense equal when I get to
these conclusions I did not feel very
owner of the situation
and I started
to new thoughts and I started to know
many people from many parts of the
world and I started to know them through
his food and his duels and his joys
They knew me bittersweet and I felt their
hunger the hunger of his people through
of empathy and then knowing
all these people I realized that
we are really the same or it does not matter
the people in the world are all
same and I was taught by
gastronomy and then I said good if the
gastronomy is universal and we
we belong to that universe therefore
the gastronomy is ours and it does not matter
If that cuisine is from Lima or India
it does not matter it’s mine belongs to me it’s in
this English world of mine that is not only not
it is Mexican she all the gastronomy in
the world belongs to me
and with this new thought I turned to
investigate history a little
to see if I was a little bit right and
curiously yes why
I realized that through history
it was the diversity of cultures after the
cultural shock and after the inclusion
what what basically dictated the
gastronomy history and it was not by
example when arabia came to italy to
through sicily taking with him the
rice did not eventually both give what
they had in their hands and eventually
the risotto was created for example
and the same happened in Spain they came
North Africa and Spain with rice and
saffron and eventually they had the
paella not then like this
many dishes through the
history in the world are nothing more than
mixture of cultures not and the inclusion and
embrace all of us rpc to our
tall
and so
and then I started to feel what I felt more
mine this thought
and then
people like that and then all these
ingredients to which all these
people had let’s say autochthon
totally and they began to share it
and so it must be and above all not what
I can believe now in this century in the
that we are that basically everything is
up to one click away and the
technology has advanced so much that if not
you can do it yourself what can
send order and it was explained then
all of all and those ingredients
curiously I think they have to follow
traveling as well as at that moment what
they did that they just have to
keep traveling and as well as in that
then they came to those cooks who
they made those classic dishes of those
kitchens so great so now
they have to get to the arms of
new cooks who have a new
vision that other species have
experiences other skills and has
that keep evolving because the
gastronomy has a natural evolution
from the hand of man
then the most important thing that I want
talk about gastronomy on the day of
today for you is about diversity and
of that until medicine supports us
not because a diverse diet where you have
different sources of proteins
different sources of carbohydrates from
vitamins and minerals
it is well known that it is the healthiest thing that
you can consume not
and although then in diversity we
nourishes as people do not nurture us in
body this and culturally nourishes us
well then I say to myself because the
people are deprived of
to be more inclusive and open more to
the new flavors if explained is like
like all of life when we fall in love
of that first saucer when we were
children, you can not relive it again
and again with very many those that neither
you can not even imagine that we do not know
what kitchen is it or if someone is going to
create not that that’s Italian cuisine and
that’s spanish food to those labels
they do not help us much if it’s vigo because
we add say previously everything is
diverse everything is part of a culture and
action and good my invitation to
you are to start to see the
gastronomy a little more openly not
and not to say being Mexican and consuming
Mexican gastronomy no no no we are not
citizens of the world and we eat
just that and we learn from them to
through food and through
story no
and good
that’s exactly what we’re trying to do
do in Hermosillo with the projects
that we have
my partners and I have always thought
what
hermosillo for example to be a place
a second small city let’s say
where we have are very traditionalists
we try to have kitchens
North of Africa to have Moroccan food
Arab Lebanese have another place that
we have is cooking from india we have
another place that is we support beer
artisan then we want
just that bother taking him out of your area
of comfort but it is for everyone is for
be more inclusive is to generate a
new environment more open and
and healthier not because diet
diverse is going to lead us to a better
Health
and good
I think the invitation is to venture
without prejudice and open ourselves a little to the
new flavors to new ideas and to
the young people who are doing
with the incredible with the kitchens
vegetarian and you have to give the
opportunity to all and that is the
invitation for you today
thank you very much
