I start to organize all of the recipes that need to be tested today. I compile a list of ingredients that need to be shopped for, and hopefully have done any advance preparations so that work will proceed smoothly when my assistant arrives.
我開始整理今天需要檢驗的所有食譜。我把需要購買的食材列了個單子,并希望能預(yù)先完成一些準(zhǔn)備工作。這樣在我的助手到達后,工作就能進展得比較順利。
10:00
My assistant arrives, and will do a lot of the hands-on work of the recipe testing, with my guidance and advice. We discuss a game plan for the day, including discussing each recipe and any snags we might see arising during the day. She goes shopping for the ingredients.
我的助手來了,她在我的引導(dǎo)和指點下將會實際動手檢驗食譜。我們討論了今天的行動計劃,包括每道食譜以及任何今天可能遇到的困難。然后她外出購買食材。

While my assistant is out shopping, I continue working in my office, maybe going through a rough transcript of an interview with the chef (of the current cookbook project), polishing it into a final version.
在我的助手外出購物時,我繼續(xù)在辦公室里工作,也許會檢查一遍采訪廚師長(正在進行的這個烹飪書項目的廚師長)的粗略腳本,修改潤色,敲定最終版本。
