You Gotta Break a Few Eggs to Make 'Em Scrambled

The Mindful Raisin (and the Mindless Dishes)

Heston Blumenthal calls it the "mindful raisin"—the idea of being fully present in every tiny detail of an experience. For me, food is my raison d’être. It’s art, history, and emotion wrapped into one.

When I tell my mum I like doing dishes because it’s mindful—focusing on the warmth of the water and the texture of the soap—she just sighs and says, “Well, I guess it’s kind of mindless.”

Generation gap, right?
