Hungry Eyes: A Memoir of Appetite, Ambition, and the Odd Bag of Wotsits for Dinner

內容簡介

內容簡介 在你的廚房餐桌上所發生的一切，都能成為你未來模樣的藍圖。你當時是獨自坐著，還是與你所愛的人們在一起？那時的氣氛是充滿樂趣還是緊張？是否有人正努力不讓你注意到另一個人的情緒？ 你是否將這一切視為理所當然，還是深知有人付出了極大的努力才讓這一切成真？那時的食物是充滿心思且美味的，還是平淡且僅為了填飽肚子？遞上盤子時，帶著的是愛還是憤怒？ 這一切都很重要。這一切都會留在我們心中。 我每一天都在思考這件事。 多年來，唐·歐波特一直以為滿足感存在於某些光鮮亮麗的地方：存在於成功、認可，以及把音量開到最大的生活中。在哀悼逝者、學習烹飪稍微有營養的食物、好萊塢夢想、撫養孩子、撰寫暢銷小說——以及偶爾把起司點心（Wotsits）當晚餐——的這些年歲之間，唐發現真正的聚光燈並不在外面的世界。 它其實就在這裡，在她的廚房裡，日常的律動與混亂、小小的失望與巨大的勝利在此上演，並經常爆發成一場熱鬧喧囂的派對。透過那些滋養人、令人印象深刻，或者有時可能幾乎不曾被注意到的餐點，食物成為了她的舞台，她在此理解了生活，並發現了她表達愛的語言。 《Hungry Eyes》是一部關於認同感的回憶錄，追溯了形塑我們模樣的那些時刻與餐食，以及我們用來逐漸構建生活的原料。唐探討了生命中「為餐桌帶來貢獻」的終身壓力，以及這件事如何決定了我們認為自己是誰。 當我們終於在自己的餐桌旁就座時，會發生什麼事？而如果你一生都在追逐的東西，其實早就已經坐在那裡了呢？What happens at your kitchen table can become the blueprint for everything you are. Did you sit alone or with people you loved? Was it fun or tense? Was someone working hard to stop you noticing someone else's mood?Did you take it for granted, or know someone had busted their balls to make it happen? Was the food thoughtful and delicious, or bland and functional? Was the plate laid down with love or anger?It all matters. It all stays with us.I think about this every single day.For years, Dawn O’Porter thought that fulfilment lived somewhere glamorous: in success, recognition, and a life turned up to full volume. Somewhere between grieving loss, learning to cook something vaguely nutritious, Hollywood dreams, raising children, writing bestselling fiction – and occasionally eating Wotsits for dinner – Dawn discovered that the real spotlight wasn’t out there.It was actually here, in her kitchen, where daily rhythms and chaos, small disappointments and big wins played out, often erupting into a raucous party. Through the meals that nourished, impressed or perhaps sometimes barely registered, food became her stage, where she made sense of life and discovered her love language.Hungry Eyes is a memoir of identity, tracing a path through the moments and meals that shape who we become, and the ingredients we use to gradually build a life. Dawn explores the lifelong pressure to ‘bring something to the table’, and how it determines who we think we are.What happens when we finally take our seat at our own table – and what if the thing you’ve been chasing your whole life was already sitting right there?
