How to get out of it, I think, is to cook anyway, and to cook things that are new to us, things we’ve never cooked before, meals to surprise and delight. The idea is to achieve what the coaches of corporate culture call “state change.” It’s time to get out of our heads. I’ll make my own mozzarella in carrozza, a restaurant favorite I’ve never cooked myself. I’ll do the same with this winter vegetable soup with turnips, carrots, potatoes and leeks. I’ll make pâte à choux, Boston cream doughnuts, pan-seared gyoza, vegan queso just because!
