70 BBM / MARCH - APRIL 2021 • MART - NİSAN 2021 SPECIAL COVER • ÖZEL DOSYA or dispersion of a living or non-living thing does not mean that it cannot be reunited. The sentence “A broken glass will never be the same as before” for centuries expresses the in- terest and admiration for perfection, but also dis- tanced humanity from the principle of “transforma- tion” inherent in nature itself. It has caused it to be driven after a senseless perfectionism. However, the recovery of the dispersed expresses respect for the new and the idea of transformation. You can never make the same bread you hold in your hand with the existing technology. The yeast in it transforms it into a living organism in infinite alter- natives. The value added by sourdough bacteria to the dough creates the "taste memory" of the bread as a different flavor component. Recently, we are witnessing the extreme points of the art of bread and those who try to make perfect designs sign up for pattern courses. In my opinion, the future of bread is hidden in its past; it is crispy and sharing just like bread. Its secret is in its con- stant renewal and stance away from forms. The bus- tle of making the best bread and the admiration for the finest are undoubtedly not in the interest of true bread craftsmen. They take each new bread as is with its unique shape, color, and texture, they per- ceive flaws as a value. Because great artists create their masterpieces with imperfection, in other words in Wabi-Sabi condi- tion. When using the mind and the brush, they keep them away from the expectation of beauty and the goal of perfection. For example, Monet drew his most beautiful paintings after he had cataracts because his imperfect eyes did not pursue perfection. Lovers, for example; "they go blind", yet we want to open their eyes so that they can notice the flaws sealed in their hearts. Most of the time, the most famous stars come from the imperfect ones. Remember Humphrey Bog- art, for example. His nose is as long as your arm, but he is stunning. THE BREAD CREATING THE TASTE MEMORY Local seeds, traditional methods, sourdough, and the artisan hands to combine them all will seek for the light of nature, not perfection. Believe me when I say that the concept we call functional bread is not new at all. Assyrians are in the history of the first bread enriched in protein. They added potatoes and beans to bread, the Ottomans added tail fat, Lydians kneaded it with brewsky, Armenian bakery added an- ise to bread. Everything in nature, season, and gar- Wabi Sabi ve Kintsugi geleneğinden ilhamını alır. Islah edilmiş, edilmemiş, yabani fark etmeksizin her türlü tahıl çeşidinin doğanın değerli bir parçası ve “geleceğin altını” olduğunu düşünür. Tıbbi aromatik bitkiler ve farklı protein kaynaklarının tahıl ile Kintsugi tekniğiyle birleşmesiyle insanlık için gereken şifa oluşturulur. Ekmeği birleştiren un, su, tuz ekşi maya ile bağlanır, ateş tozu ile güçlendiril- ir. Yeryüzünde var olan her şey yıldız tozundan oluşur. Canlı veya cansız var olanın kırılması, dağılması yeniden birleşemeyeceği anlamına gelmez. Yüzyıllardır “kırılan cam bir daha eskisi gibi olmaz” sözüyle mükemmele olan ilgiyi ve hayranlığı ifade etmekle beraber doğanın kendisinde var olan “dönüşüm” ilkesin- den insanlığı uzaklaştırdı. Anlamsız bir mükemmeliyetçiliğin peşinden savrulmasına neden oldu. Oysa dağılanların toparlanması yeniye, dönüşüme olan saygıyı ifade eder. Elinizde tuttuğunuz ekmeğin aynısını yapma şansınız; var olan teknoloji ile asla mümkün olamaz. İçerisindeki
