La coutume de l’o-miokuri surprend souvent les Occidentaux en visite au Japon. Elle consiste à raccompagner la personne qui s’en va, comme cela se pratique dans beaucoup d’autres cultures, et comme elle s’est pratiquée longtemps dans les gares et les ports. Au Japon, cependant, elle ne concerne pas seulement les grands départs. En ce moment que je suis au Japon, ma mère reste sur le pas de la…

(Encore) une recette avec des verts de poireau.

Huile de poireau, condiment inspiré par François-Régis Gaudry.

Créé par la japonaise Ryoko Sekiguchi , ce condiment s'est fait connaître par François-Régis Gaudry, journaliste culinaire, et est présenté dans la vidéo : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLDpoITfc70.

La préparation est simple :

Bien nettoyer les verts de poireau et bien les sécher,

Ciseler les verts et les mettre dans un bocal,

Ajouter une pincée de fleur de sel puis écraser à l'aide d'un pilon pour faire sortir le "jus",

Couvrir d'huile d'olive,

Eventuellement, ajouter du piment en flocons,

Conserver au frais 1 jour avant de l'utiliser.

A servir sur du riz, des nouilles, salades,.... selon son imagination.

When I try modernizing Palestinian cuisine, I am not trying to make it acceptable to people. When I think of a dish, I don’t ask myself: “Is this gonna please the Europeans or the Americans or the Chinese?” I try to create a dish that is respectful of the flavors, and that has an identity that is very much mine. For instance, I love working with freekeh and I know you hate it. Still in my set menu, I try to force down your throat some freekeh. You know I could make an effort when ì know you’re coming over for dinner and not cook it but if I happen to have a vegetable that works well with it, well I still cook freekeh, whether you like it or not!   Don’t forget, cooking is a magic act, a sacred moment. This is why I am in the kitchen. I was recently speaking to Paris-based Japanese writer, Ryoko Sekiguchi, and we came up with this concept of “cooking of light,” “la cuisine de lumière”) [”hikari no ryôri”] and she linked it to another concept that she came up with Japanese chef Shûichirô Kobori, namely “cooking of prayer,” “la cuisine de prière” [”inori no ryôri”]. Cooking is a sacred moment of intimacy and of creation, which requires respect.  We have such particularities in our kitchen, that we should be putting forward and that we should be protecting from all those coexistence and peace initiatives, which are not really about peace and coexistence. Peace is about justice. When sometimes people ask me: “Would you work with an Israeli chef?” I say: “My conditions if an Israeli chef wants to work with me are that she or he has to accept a Palestinian state with the 1967 borders, accept Jerusalem as the capital of two states, accept the right of return of Palestinians refugees. If there is a resolution that is just to our rights as Palestinians of course I will work with an Israeli chef.” But as long as there is no justice and equality there’s no way I could work with an Israeli chef.

TBR | January 2024

2024 is here, Happy New Year!

To celebrate, let's set some goals: I want to read 50 books in 2024, and get to at least 60% of my current TBR (this means 43 books). These are both suuuuuuper lowkey goals that I think will be easily accomplishable, but I think it's about time I don't stress myself out with plans. 2024 is shaping up to be a very full year in terms of professional and personal matters, so I want my reading to be relaxing.

However, in the spirit of tackling my TBR, I'm going to try and set a list of books I want to get to this month in the hopes of actually sticking to it...

The Lost Pianos of Siberia - Sophy Roberts

El Zorro: comienza la leyenda - Isabel Allende

Always Italicise: How to Write While Colonised - Alice Te Punga Somerville

Nagori: La nostalgie de la saison qui vient de nous quitter - Ryoko Sekiguchi

Welcome to the Goddamn Ice Cube: Chasing Fear and Finding Home in the Great White - Blair Braverman

Marx in the Anthropocene - Kōhei Saitō

Poets and Dreamers: Studies and Translations from the Irish - Lady Gregory

I think this is a good mix of non-fiction, fiction, and poetry, with radically different topics, genres, and even languages, so I don't get bored. There's something for every mood and I'm really looking forward to all of them.

What are you reading this year?

15th September 2023, 6.38am

I've just gotten home, the clothes I hung before I left at 9.30pm are still wet, the dishes I washed are not, and I have to stay awake for at least one more hour to reserve my language classes for the year. I'm still undecided between Russian and Japanese, but I have some time to think about it.

For the past couple of days I have let the hecticity of life surround me. I have no proper routine, no proper goal, not yet. I know things will change next week, with the beginning of classes. I can already picture myself taking notes in the warmth of an overcrowded room, with a professor who never shuts up, and my fingers tingle with excitement at the idea of picking up a pen and learn again. During this past year I have started reading a lot more non-fiction: essays by James Baldwin, Audre Lorde, Susan Sontag, but also scientific texts, like some physics lessons by Carlo Rovelli and Richard P. Feynman, or even Wassily Kandisky's terrible attempts at making art a science, or Ryoko Sekiguchi's essay about the state of Nagori and la nostalgie qui vient de nous quitter. I have been hungry for knowledge, I am insatiable, curious in a way I have not been since childhood.

I have started going to the gym again, after three months of not going. The building is large and flat, as if it has been squashed to the ground by a heavenly hand. The actual gym is not the best – but it's the cheapest, and the closest to home. The machines are old, and there's not enough dumbbells to let everyone workout at the same time, but i can wait on the side for a bench to free up.

I still hate my body, despite everything. I carry this hatred in my heart. I have a backpack of problems, but I have gotten so used to its weight that I would no longer feel like myself if I solved them. I really need to see a psychologist.

After three months of not being able to control how I look, buying my own groceries, working out at my own pace, walking everywhere helps a lot. i have started taking pills for acne too; they make me thirsty.

Le curry japonais, c'est le goût de la liberté. Il représente la capacité des Japonais à assimiler un goût d'origine étrangère, à se l'approprier pour le déployer joyeusement en milliers de styles différents.

Nagori 2

On croit parfois universels certains concepts qu’on estime essentiels à la vie, et on s’étonne d’apprendre qu’ils ne s’appliquent pas partout. C’est le cas, par exemple, des notions de « société ��, de « liberté » ou d’« amour », qui n’existent en japonais que depuis l’ouverture du pays au XIXe siècle, comme concepts traduits des langues européennes. Le constat étonne toujours les…

Günther Anders: Nuclear Theology

From this year onwards, my philosophy seminars at the Sandberg Institute will be open to the public. Organised around the theme of “Philosophy and Apocalypse,” this year’s seminar programme will focus on different philosophical engagements with the idea of the end of the world. We kick off with the programme with a series of three seminars on Günther Anders.

Günther Anders: Nuclear Theology Winter 2022-23

The first series of this year's philosophy seminars will focus on the work of the Austrian-Jewish philosopher Günther Anders and his concept of a “nuclear theology.” Over the course of three meetings, we will discuss Anders’ account of the implications of the invention of the atomic bomb and the human species’ expanding power of destruction and, at its limit, self-annihilation. A selection of Anders’ essays on the end of time, “nuclear theology” and what he calls an “apocalypse without kingdom” will be read alongside contemporary reflections on nuclear disaster by the philosopher Sabu Kohso and poet Ryoko Sekiguchi.

Seminar dates: Friday November 18, December 2, January 13 (14.00-16.30) To sign up and receive readings for the seminars, please email tom.vandeputte@sandberg.nl
