对孩子来说,食物是一种特别的东西。它不仅仅是指好吃的味道,或者塑造健康身体的维生素,食物还是【爱】/【关心】/【安全】和【希望】,代表了一个家庭所能提供的一切。
还记得小时候妈妈为你烤的甜饼吗?当她切了一块放在你的盘子里的时候,那就是她对你的爱。她让饥饿远离你,你吃饱了肚子,得到了满足,于是一切都平安无恙。你的满足感来自于那个甜饼,妈妈用她的爱养育了你。食物是一种我们所有人在生理上不可或缺的东西,但同时它也是爱,更深一层地说,是塑造我们人格的营养。
在使用这本书之前,请你切身地想一想这对养育一个孩子有多么的必要。这本书里充满了美味佳肴。每一道菜的材料都格外的用心,因为作者总是在为孩子着想。他们尤其会顾虑到那些由于贫困,疾病,或者残疾而不能获得充分营养的孩子们。这些都是需要用食物来拯救的孩子。
拯救世界基金会的宗旨是“贴近我心”,这本书的主题也是如此。这些食谱都呈现了这个精神。请你在做菜的同时把它放在心上。你的孩子一定能够在爱的呵护下,坚强地成长。在打鸡蛋,量一杯面粉的同时,你也在魔法般地搅拌着人生的礼物。食物的蛋白质和矿物质会变为我们的骨头和肌肉,而你在做菜时的用心将会塑造一个灵魂。
我很高兴大家开始重视孩子们精神上的需求。孩子们没有力量能够直接让战争结束,让长久以来的纠纷平息。他们可以做的就是做好他们自己,在感恩时发光,在被爱时欢乐。然而最终,这不正是最巨大的力量吗?在孩子的眼睛里,你被提升到了一个施予关爱和传递人生的特别境界,成为欢乐的源泉。
也许你会觉得你的苹果派里只放了糖和香料。但是孩子是聪明的,他只要吃了第一口,就会明白这道特别的菜是你爱心的结晶。
享受做菜的乐趣吧!

"Nourish This Child"
by Michael Jackson, 1993
"To a child, food is something special. It isn’t just a delicious taste or the vitamins that build a healthy body. Food is love and caring, security and hope — all the things that a food family can provide.
Remember when you were little and your mother made a pie for you? When she cut a slice and put it on your plate, she was giving you a bit of herself, in the form of her love. She made your hunger go away, and when you were full and satisfied, everything seemed all right. Because that satisfied feeling was in the pie, you were nourished from a deep level. Food is something we all need physically, but so is love, the deeper nourishment, that turns into who we are.
Think about how necessary it is to nourish a child with a bit of yourself when you use this book. It is full of delicious things. Every recipe has an extra ingredient of caring, because the people who wrote them were thinking of the children. They were specially thinking of those who aren’t able to take nourishment for granted because they are poor, sick or disabled. These are the children who need food to heal.
The theme of 'Heal the World', which has been close to my heart, is the central theme of this book, also. Here are recipes for the spirit. Please make them with that in mind. Your child is growing spirit that can be knit strong with love. When you break an egg and measure a cup of flour, you are magically mixing the gift of life. The food’s proteins and minerals will turn into bones and muscles, but your feeling as you cook will turn directly into a soul.
It makes me happy to think that the needs of children’s spirits are at last becoming important in this world. Children have no power to end wars directly or to mend age-old differences.
All they can do is be themselves, to shine with gratitude and joy when love is turned their way. Yet isn’t that ultimately the greatest power? In the eyes of a child you become the source of joy, which lifts you into the special category of caregiver and life-provider.
You may think that your apple pie has only sugar and spice in it.A child is wiser — with the first bite, he knows that this special dish is the essence of your love.
Enjoy!"
