Alright, let me tell ya ’bout this “lin cuisine,” or whatever fancy name they call it. I ain’t no scholar, ya know, just an old woman who’s been cookin’ for near a century. But I know good food when I taste it, and I know what fills a belly and warms a soul.
What’s it all about?
Well, from what I gather, this “lin cuisine” ain’t nothin’ more than fancy talk for cookin’ with what ya got. Like, back in my day, we didn’t have no supermarkets. We ate what we grew in the garden, what we raised on the farm. This lin stuff, it’s kinda the same, I reckon. They go on about fresh ingredients, seasonal stuff… sounds like common sense to me!
- Fresh, Local, and Seasonal: That’s the big thing, see? They want veggies straight from the ground, fruits right off the tree, and meat from animals that ain’t been cooped up all their lives. Just like how it used to be, before everything got so complicated. We used to grow everything ourselves, and when somethin’ was in season, that’s what we ate. Now that I think about it , we were all doin’ this lin cuisine without even knowin’ it!
- Simple Cooking: Ain’t no fussin’ around with fancy sauces or complicated techniques. It’s all about lettin’ the food speak for itself. A good piece of meat, cooked right, don’t need no fancy dressin’ up. Same goes for veggies. Just a little salt, maybe some pepper, and you’re good to go. Them fancy city folks might call it “minimalist,” I just call it good cookin’.
- Waste Not, Want Not: This part I understand real good. Back then, we didn’t throw nothin’ away. Leftover bread? Make breadcrumbs. Vegetable scraps? Toss ’em in the soup pot. This lin thing, they talk about usin’ the whole animal, every part of the vegetable. Just like we always did, ‘cause we couldn’t afford to be wastin’ nothin’.
Why’s it so popular now?
Now, I ain’t sure why all these young folks are suddenly so interested in this “lin cuisine.” Maybe they’re tired of all that processed junk they been eatin’. Maybe they’re finally realizin’ that real food, simple food, is the best food. Or maybe they just like the fancy name! Who knows? But I ain’t complainin’. If it gets folks eatin’ healthier and appreciatin’ where their food comes from, then I’m all for it.
My kinda lin cooking
I remember my ma used to make the best chicken soup. Just a simple broth, with chicken, potatoes, carrots, and onions. And she’d let it simmer all day long, ’til the whole house smelled like comfort. That’s what I call lin cuisine! Nothin’ fancy, just good, honest food made with love. I make it that way too, till this day.
Another thing I remember is the way we used to preserve food. We’d can fruits and vegetables, make pickles, and smoke meat. That way, we had somethin’ to eat all year round, even in the winter when nothin’ was growin’. These days, they got freezers and all that, but I still like the old ways best. There’s somethin’ special about openin’ up a jar of home-canned peaches in the middle of January and tastin’ the sunshine.
It ain’t that hard
So, if you’re thinkin’ about tryin’ this “lin cuisine” thing, don’t be intimidated. It ain’t rocket science. Just go to the farmers market, buy some fresh ingredients, and cook ’em up simple. Don’t worry about followin’ some fancy recipe. Just trust your instincts and cook from the heart. That’s the way I’ve always done it, and let me tell you, my food never disappointed.
And remember, the most important ingredient is love. If you cook with love, your food will taste good, no matter what. That’s what my ma always told me, and she was right.
Last words
So, there you have it. My take on this “lin cuisine.” It ain’t nothin’ new, just good old-fashioned cookin’ with a fancy name. But hey, if it gets folks eatin’ better and appreciatin’ the simple things in life, then I’m all for it. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go start supper. I’m makin’ a big pot of stew, and it’s gonna be delicious!
