Hello everyone!<\/p>\n

Welcome to December 23, with flashback to December 21: Remember – we prepared a Graved Lax.<\/p>\n

Here now is what happens after the salmon has been marinated for 48 hours: it’s all really straight forward and simple. As long as the fish was very fresh to begin with, you can keep your Graved Lax in the fridge for at least a week, wrapped in cling film. And don’t worry about not being able to cut large, thin slices like a pro; you can also use a normal sharp knife and cut shorter slices, about three fingers long, and even a bit thicker, very similar to the Spanish ham served as tapas, and it will still look and taste very good.<\/p>\n

Clearly, preparing food for yourself and guests is marrying necessity with personal pleasure, which leads to an esthetical and social \u00a0experience; the result is more than the sum of its parts, and is the expression of something which cannot be put into words. This reminds me of Goethe’s definition of Art: “Art is a mediator of the unspeakable.” So, you see, there seems to be some kind of affinity between Art, Gastronomy and Magic…<\/p>\n

PS: I received quite a bit of feedback on this one (almost more than the magic!), and Jos\u00e9 Angel from Vitoria (the home of Fournier playing cards!), a friend of many years and a talented chef, suggested pouring some vodka on top of the sugar-salt-mix before covering it with dill. I made a note for next time…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
