Umpheki oqotho nomnikazi wezindawo zokudlela eziwine imiklomelo eBristol naseLondon ukhuluma ngezimiso azilandelayo ebhizinisini lakhe, kanye nesibopho sabaphathi bezindawo zokudlela nabapheki.
Ngiqale ukupheka kusukela ngisemncane. Umama akazange angivumele ukuthi ngidle amaswidi amaningi futhi nganquma ukwenza iqhinga: ngizipheke ngokwami. Ngangikwazi ukuchitha amahora ngenza izinhlobo ezahlukene zemikhiqizo yenhlama nofulawa, kusukela ku-baklava kuya ku-brownies. Ugogo wayethanda ukungifundisa zonke izinhlobo zokupheka, singachitha usuku lonke ngemuva kwalesi sifundo. Uthando lwami lwaphenduka umsebenzi wobungcweti ngemva nje kokuphothula enyuvesi, lapho ngafunda khona ezobuciko. Ngenkathi ngifunda enyuvesi, ngacindezela intshiseko ejulile nentshisekelo yokupheka. Lapho ngithweswa iziqu, ngathola umsebenzi wokuba umpheki futhi ngasebenza nompheki okuthiwa uBen Hodges, kamuva owaba umeluleki wami nogqozi oluyinhloko.
Igama elithi “The Natural Cook” lafika kimi lisuka esihlokweni sencwadi nodumo lwami njengompheki we-eco. Ngikholelwa ukuthi izinga lokuziphatha okuhle kokudla kwethu libaluleke kakhulu kunokunambitheka kwakho. Ukupheka okungafaki usongo emvelweni kuyisitayela esikhethekile sokupheka. Ukupheka okunjalo kusebenzisa izithako zonyaka, zekhwalithi ezikhuliswe abantu bendawo, okungcono ngokunakekela nangokunaka.
Ebhizinisini lami, izimiso zokuziphatha zibaluleke njengokwenza inzuzo. "Sinezinsika" ezintathu zamanani, okuthi, ngaphezu kwenzuzo, kufaka phakathi abantu kanye neplanethi. Ngokuqonda izinto eziza kuqala nezimiso, kulula kakhulu ukwenza izinqumo. Lokhu akusho ukuthi imali engenayo ayibalulekile kithina: yona, njengakunoma yiliphi elinye ibhizinisi, ingumgomo obalulekile womsebenzi wethu. Umehluko wukuthi ngeke siphambuke emigomeni eminingi emisiwe.
Nazi ezinye zazo:
1) Yonke imikhiqizo ithengwa imisha, ingekho ngaphezu kwe-100 km ukusuka endaweni yokudlela 2) 100% imikhiqizo yesizini 3) Izithelo Organic, imifino 4) Ukuthenga kubahlinzeki abathembekile 5) Ukupheka nge-Whole Foods 6) Ukufinyeleleka I-7) Umsebenzi oqhubekayo wokunciphisa ukuchithwa kokudla 8) Ukugaywa kabusha nokusetshenziswa kabusha
Umbuzo uyathakazelisa. Wonke amabhizinisi nabo bonke abapheki banomthelela ohlukile emvelweni futhi bayakwazi ukwenza izinguquko ezinhle ngaphakathi kokusungulwa kwabo, noma ngabe kuncane kangakanani. Kodwa-ke, akuwona wonke umuntu ongaletha izinguquko ezinkulu embonini futhi, ngaphezu kwalokho, aqinisekise ubungane bayo obuphelele bemvelo. Abapheki abaningi bafuna ukupheka ukudla okumnandi futhi babone ukumamatheka ebusweni bezivakashi zabo, kanti kwabanye ingxenye yekhwalithi nayo ibalulekile. Zombili lezi zimo zinhle, kodwa ngokubona kwami, kuwukungazi ukungazinaki umthwalo owenzayo njengompheki noma usomabhizinisi ngokusebenzisa amakhemikhali ekuphekeni noma ngokukhiqiza inani elikhulu lemfucuza. Ngeshwa, ngokuvamile abantu bayakhohlwa (noma bazenzise) lo mthwalo wemfanelo, babeke inzuzo kuqala.
Ngibheka ukuziphendulela kanye nokungafihli lutho kubahlinzeki bami. Ngenxa yenqubomgomo ye-eco yerestshurenti yethu, sidinga ulwazi oluningiliziwe mayelana nezithako esizithengayo. Uma ngingakwazi ukuthenga ngokuqondile kusisekelo, ngizothembela ezinhlanganweni ezigunyaziwe njengenhlangano yomhlabathi noma uhwebo olulungile.
