An Introduction to "The Ambient Cookbook"

marcus • May 23rd, 2007

This is a cookbook for artists and other aliens who don't have the time to cook and to go shopping (even to eat sometimes). My typical situation is not to have the time to do a meal which takes a lot of time re preparation. But I really enjoy cooking as it is a creative process like doing music which has a lot to do with artistic freedom and how to organize yourself effectively. Cooking is also very good in terms of having a break once a day and doing something different...to think about the last thing you did before starting to cook and to think about how to proceed after the meal. The possibility of getting stuck in your work is much less a problem if you have a break inbetween. Ok, you might say ...go to a restaurant...I'm sorry but this takes more time than to stay at home and make one of the meals that I wrote down. Normally I go to a restaurant after I finished a CD or a big piece of work ... to reward myself. On the other hand it is a cost factor...if you don't have the money then it is better to cook yourself...and its easy as well as creative work. »
