a sort of cook
"There is the 'do-it-and-dust-it' cook, who does it purely
to get something on the table with which to fill the belly, and then
there is the one who takes delight in unfolding a cabbage leaf by leaf,
rubbing his or her hands over the rough skin of a russet apple, or
sniffing a freshly cut lemon. The person who finds satisfaction in
choosing the right knife and picking the right pot, who enjoys the scent
of ingredients and the feel of food in his or her hands. Chopping,
slicing, stirring, tasting, seasoning all become acts of contentment
rather than chores to be hurried through."
- Nigel Slater in Tender
