9. Making Ingredients
While cooking, we think about which ingredients we need
to create the dish. However, we don’t really think about
how the ingredients itself is made and where it has come
from. We don’t think about what process it had gone
through, and how far it had travelled. This is important, as
ingredients don’t just appear on shelves at supermarkets
by themselves and we need ingredients to cook! It’s one
thing knowing which ingredients you need, it’s another
knowing where they came from.
