Читать книгу Ziggy Marley and Family Cookbook - Ziggy Marley - Страница 7

I’m a breakfast person. It’s the most important meal for me, and eggs were the first food I learned to cook. If I wanted to make an omelet, that was easy. If I wanted to make an omelet with something different to it, that was easy too. When I was growing up, they used to feed me a lot of eggs. There was this lady who brought my auntie eggs from her chickens every morning. I suppose it was for me specially she would bring them. Every other day there’d be boiled eggs or fried eggs or scrambled. This is why the first recipe in the book is my Egg Sandwich with Avocado Spread.

I also like pancakes, and so does my family, but they don’t have any real nourishment other than the eggs. One day I said to my son, “You know what, today we’re not making pancakes. We’re making Mancakes." Mancakes got more to it than just flour and water. Mancakes got to nourish. We put coconut oil in them, some pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds, chia seeds, sometimes walnuts. On Saturday mornings I’ll make my kids Mancakes with maple syrup as a treat.

Oatmeal—that’s my go-to meal right there. It has protein and everything else in it you need. My wife Orly’s oatmeal guarantees you will start your day feeling nice and strong. And that’s the point: the recipes in this section will nourish you to start the day smiling. Smiling with the rising sun.
