The speaker's interest in cooking was sparked by the desire to not hand a cookbook to their mother, highlighting an element of self-preservation. They reflect on the uncomfortable relationship with power and how it has evolved over the years, shifting from focusing on expensive restaurants to shining a spotlight on underrepresented cuisines like Puerto Rican food. This change in focus was partly influenced by the rise of anti-immigrant sentiment in mainstream American discourse.
