0:00:08.113,0:00:09.673
Well, I don't know about you

0:00:09.673,0:00:12.697
but today, I learned many things.

0:00:12.697,0:00:13.794
I learned that, actually,

0:00:13.794,0:00:17.051
astronomers don't have[br]all the ingredients with them,

0:00:17.051,0:00:18.126
or that they don't know

0:00:18.126,0:00:20.892
many of the ingredients [br]in the universe.

0:00:20.892,0:00:23.794
Cooks... We do.[br](Laughter)

0:00:23.794,0:00:27.064
And it's funny that [br]she's using liquid nitrogen,

0:00:27.064,0:00:30.176
when I use liquid nitrogen to cook,

0:00:30.176,0:00:32.486
and I'm so happy we found water

0:00:32.486,0:00:34.814
in very distant and far away countries --

0:00:34.814,0:00:37.447
very far away planets.

0:00:37.447,0:00:39.831
With water, I can cook --

0:00:39.831,0:00:43.863
I know I have а job... forever.

0:00:43.863,0:00:45.250
Why am I here?

0:00:45.250,0:00:46.752
I would love to believe it's because

0:00:46.752,0:00:49.802
I have something important [br]to share with you,

0:00:49.802,0:00:53.056
but I have a feeling [br]that all my TED friends,

0:00:53.056,0:00:54.801
in a very busy weekend [br]in Washington,

0:00:54.801,0:00:56.394
they wanted the excuse of --

0:00:56.394,0:00:57.843
why ask me for a reservation --

0:00:57.843,0:00:59.398
They invite me to speak,

0:00:59.398,0:01:03.305
[so] they go to other places. [br](Applause)

0:01:04.629,0:01:07.496
But we are here to talk about

0:01:07.496,0:01:10.012
more important things.

0:01:10.012,0:01:12.773
I'm a chef --

0:01:12.773,0:01:15.972
I'm a chef and I cook for the few,

0:01:15.972,0:01:20.479
but, really, I want to be [br]cooking for the world.

0:01:20.479,0:01:24.465
I want to create the spark.

0:01:24.465,0:01:28.383
And how do we create [br]the spark being a chef?

0:01:28.383,0:01:33.297
We create the spark [br]through creativity.

0:01:33.297,0:01:37.463
I know lunch is coming.[br](Laughter)

0:01:37.463,0:01:41.397
Are you hungry?[br](Laughter)

0:01:41.397,0:01:43.603
Sometimes, guys, [br]to be creative,

0:01:43.603,0:01:45.600
the only thing [br]we have to be doing is --

0:01:45.600,0:01:47.401
Why not? [br]Looking at the stars,

0:01:47.401,0:01:48.457
maybe, Andromeda,

0:01:48.457,0:01:50.205
or maybe, a far away galaxy

0:01:50.205,0:01:51.740
it's a way to get inspired.

0:01:51.740,0:01:52.881
I just got inspired

0:01:52.881,0:01:55.745
by these amazing presentations.

0:01:55.745,0:01:57.305
Sometimes, you only have to do

0:01:57.305,0:01:59.298
simple things as these.

0:01:59.298,0:02:01.244
I'm going to start now.

0:02:01.244,0:02:02.248
Why? Because the world

0:02:02.248,0:02:03.762
needs me to start.

0:02:03.762,0:02:05.425
But creativity doesn't happen,

0:02:05.425,0:02:07.186
you know, in the middle of a beach,

0:02:07.186,0:02:10.503
doing nothing, under[br]a palm tree... No!

0:02:10.503,0:02:12.376
I've never created[br]anything in the beach,

0:02:12.376,0:02:15.070
I only get burned by the sun.[br](Laughter)

0:02:15.070,0:02:17.387
Actually, creativity will only happen

0:02:17.387,0:02:19.529
when I'm surrounded

0:02:19.529,0:02:22.142
by high energy environments

0:02:22.142,0:02:24.602
that keep all of these ideas

0:02:24.602,0:02:28.282
coming and coming,[br]and tip your life!

0:02:28.282,0:02:30.530
Well, sometimes, to look

0:02:30.530,0:02:32.185
for new creative ways

0:02:32.185,0:02:34.338
we don't need to look [br]into the big things,

0:02:34.338,0:02:36.594
we need to concentrate[br]in the small ones.

0:02:36.594,0:02:39.390
Sometimes, we need to be [br]looking into the big ones,

0:02:39.390,0:02:42.846
because [that] can be[br]what creates a small idea.

0:02:42.846,0:02:43.970
What is big can be small,

0:02:43.970,0:02:47.214
and what's small can become huge!

0:02:47.214,0:02:48.898
We have no time to waste,

0:02:48.898,0:02:51.570
but in order to be creative,

0:02:51.570,0:02:52.896
people of the world,

0:02:52.896,0:02:55.235
we have to make sure

0:02:55.235,0:02:57.343
that we will not be afraid

0:02:57.343,0:03:01.089
to look beyond the horizon

0:03:01.089,0:03:04.526
that we don't know [br]what's behind.

0:03:04.526,0:03:07.803
To take really [br]that challenge of saying,

0:03:07.803,0:03:10.004
"I'm going to move away [br]from my comfort zone

0:03:10.004,0:03:12.254
and I'm going to reach beyond

0:03:12.254,0:03:13.959
what I don't know."

0:03:13.959,0:03:16.591
This is really how [br]we become creative.

0:03:16.591,0:03:18.727
Where, sometimes,[br]light can be

0:03:18.727,0:03:21.265
what makes us blind,

0:03:21.265,0:03:23.766
or what gives us the light

0:03:23.766,0:03:26.961
to help us begin [br]with a new creation.

0:03:26.961,0:03:29.904
Sometimes, using [br]a simple piece of paper,

0:03:29.904,0:03:32.070
writing one word or one phrase

0:03:32.070,0:03:33.878
can begin something amazing.

0:03:33.878,0:03:37.651
But here is... [br]what important things start.

0:03:37.651,0:03:41.410
Sometimes, very simple ideas --

0:03:41.410,0:03:46.618
very simple ideas [br]can achieve fascinating things.

0:03:46.618,0:03:49.501
Take a look at something like

0:03:49.501,0:03:51.389
what we have in front of us

0:03:51.389,0:03:53.834
every day of our lives.

0:03:53.834,0:03:58.469
How many of you have[br]had a glass of water today?

0:03:58.469,0:04:02.341
Great! What did you do with it,[br]besides drinking it?

0:04:02.341,0:04:04.319
You didn't talk to it,[br]you didn't ask,

0:04:04.319,0:04:06.431
What can I do today[br]with this glass of water

0:04:06.431,0:04:09.231
that has never been done before?

0:04:09.231,0:04:11.546
Well, [the] funny thing is

0:04:11.546,0:04:13.910
that if I take risks,

0:04:13.910,0:04:16.265
and if I move away [br]from my comfort zone,

0:04:16.265,0:04:18.833
that meaning not going [br]to the market to get inspired,

0:04:18.833,0:04:21.340
or opening a cookbook[br]to get inspiration,

0:04:21.340,0:04:23.965
but maybe, going to Harvard or MIT,

0:04:23.965,0:04:24.973
where I have no clue

0:04:24.973,0:04:27.286
what those scientists [br]are talking about -- (Laughter)

0:04:27.286,0:04:30.318
but I'm taking the risk[br]of making a fool of myself

0:04:30.322,0:04:32.696
only because it's worth it --

0:04:32.696,0:04:34.902
and I understand

0:04:34.902,0:04:37.674
that I can defy gravity --

0:04:37.674,0:04:39.698
And that I can control the water

0:04:39.698,0:04:41.873
by understanding the pressure --

0:04:41.873,0:04:45.013
the low pressure that is formed inside.

0:04:45.013,0:04:46.214
And understanding a little bit

0:04:46.214,0:04:48.218
about water surface tension --

0:04:48.218,0:04:49.884
Wow, I am being creative,

0:04:49.884,0:04:53.087
right here, right now!

0:04:53.087,0:04:55.890
At the end, guys, you know,

0:04:55.890,0:04:58.019
a simple ingredient, like water,

0:04:58.019,0:05:00.466
can be helping me to come up

0:05:00.466,0:05:01.730
with something fascinating

0:05:01.730,0:05:03.569
from a very old ingredient

0:05:03.569,0:05:06.011
-- and water is quite old.

0:05:06.011,0:05:07.803
But at the low end,

0:05:07.803,0:05:10.487
I can learn new ways to cook

0:05:10.487,0:05:13.205
in a clean and efficient way.

0:05:13.205,0:05:15.350
You know, guys, we've been[br]cooking with fire

0:05:15.350,0:05:17.549
for hundred of thousands of years.

0:05:17.549,0:05:23.088
That was almost the beginning [br]of creativity in cooking! Yes?

0:05:23.088,0:05:24.559
But it's so funny.

0:05:24.559,0:05:28.407
Today, hundred of thousands of years

0:05:28.407,0:05:32.338
after we began controlling fire,

0:05:32.338,0:05:34.229
we use that same fire

0:05:34.229,0:05:37.066
to cook on a Sunday for our friends.

0:05:37.066,0:05:38.398
Why? Because [br]we're rich and powerful,

0:05:38.398,0:05:39.565
and we have the charcoal,

0:05:39.565,0:05:41.237
and we have the money [br]to buy the meat

0:05:41.237,0:05:42.815
that can feed our friends,

0:05:42.819,0:05:48.480
and because we are men,[br]and we know how to cook. (Laughter)

0:05:48.480,0:05:50.734
But this is not laughing [matter].

0:05:50.734,0:05:54.343
Hundred of millions[br]of years of evolution,

0:05:54.343,0:05:56.116
reaching to the stars,

0:05:56.116,0:05:58.217
going to the moon --

0:05:58.217,0:06:01.710
and still people are living lives,

0:06:01.710,0:06:03.040
as we used to live them

0:06:03.040,0:06:08.256
hundred of thousands of years ago.

0:06:08.256,0:06:14.962
This is how the advance [br]of humanity has helped us --

0:06:14.962,0:06:20.909
Having people [br]who have achieved fire --

0:06:20.909,0:06:23.821
what takes me a second,

0:06:23.821,0:06:26.695
it takes them hours --

0:06:26.695,0:06:29.167
They have to search for the wood --

0:06:29.167,0:06:31.089
these girls get in danger

0:06:31.089,0:06:33.814
because they're alone in the forest,

0:06:33.814,0:06:35.955
in the middle of nowhere.

0:06:35.955,0:06:37.611
They can be raped,

0:06:37.611,0:06:39.866
because they're looking for the fuel[br]to cook their food.

0:06:39.866,0:06:41.254
They have no time to go to school,

0:06:41.254,0:06:44.519
so they have no future[br]because they receive no education.

0:06:46.022,0:06:50.753
Wow! And here we come... to corn;

0:06:50.753,0:06:53.501
a grain that is everywhere [br]to be found in America.

0:06:53.501,0:06:56.748
For thousands of years,[br]civilizations have been living around corn.

0:06:56.748,0:06:58.761
Let me show you creativity.

0:06:58.761,0:07:00.921
With corn we feed the cattle,

0:07:00.921,0:07:06.273
when, actually, we should [br]feed the cattle with grass.

0:07:06.273,0:07:09.454
It's smarter, but no,[br]we use it to feed those cattle

0:07:09.481,0:07:11.259
that will produce meat.

0:07:11.259,0:07:13.758
And with corn we are able[br]to come out with oil,

0:07:13.758,0:07:15.464
that is going to fry those potatoes.

0:07:15.464,0:07:18.047
And with corn we can make syrup

0:07:18.047,0:07:19.721
that help us to make ketchup.

0:07:19.721,0:07:20.970
And believe it or not,

0:07:20.970,0:07:26.107
with corn, also, we can make[br]a great soda! Wow!

0:07:26.107,0:07:30.176
With corn we're even able [br]to make the paper!

0:07:30.176,0:07:34.616
Creativity at it best![br](Laughter)

0:07:34.616,0:07:38.820
I cannot beat that, guys![br](Laughter)

0:07:38.820,0:07:43.223
So, the fun part is that

0:07:43.223,0:07:44.794
I could be telling you

0:07:44.794,0:07:47.063
how many things [br]are wrong about these,

0:07:47.063,0:07:50.876
but the truth is that [br]a burger is a paradigm

0:07:50.876,0:07:54.883
of the complexities [br]of how we feed humanity!

0:07:54.883,0:07:56.706
But I'm not only going [br]to be blaming them,

0:07:56.706,0:08:00.081
we are all here to be blamed.

0:08:00.081,0:08:02.515
It's a responsibility of everyone[br]to be feeding people.

0:08:02.515,0:08:05.465
Actually, you know one thing?

0:08:05.465,0:08:07.315
You think that people[br]coming to my restaurant,

0:08:07.315,0:08:09.590
me, the great chef, José Andrés,

0:08:09.590,0:08:13.263
I am not part of the best city problem?

0:08:13.263,0:08:15.590
Or, you know what[br]about the environment?

0:08:15.590,0:08:19.194
Who put more CO2,[br]me or the fast food companies?

0:08:19.194,0:08:20.780
A fast food restaurant receives

0:08:20.780,0:08:23.996
two deliveries a week if [even so].

0:08:23.996,0:08:25.799
Do you know how many I receive?

0:08:25.799,0:08:28.231
Sometimes 50 or 60.

0:08:28.231,0:08:31.383
I need to be pragmatic[br]if we want to feed the world.

0:08:31.383,0:08:33.141
Actually, I put more CO2[br]in the environment

0:08:33.141,0:08:34.747
than maybe those [br]fast food companies

0:08:34.747,0:08:38.847
that sometimes we complain about.

0:08:38.847,0:08:41.571
But no, I'm not being paid by them,

0:08:41.571,0:08:43.602
I only know that [br]I have to be pragmatic

0:08:43.602,0:08:46.510
if I want my boys to be respected,

0:08:46.510,0:08:48.764
and we can use creativity

0:08:48.764,0:08:50.592
to bring everyone to the table,

0:08:50.592,0:08:54.163
and bring riches -- Are you with me?

0:08:54.163,0:08:56.420
So here --

0:08:56.420,0:08:58.313
I'm going to show you my creativity.

0:08:58.313,0:08:59.649
Who likes almonds?

0:08:59.649,0:09:02.902
Come on! Are you hungry?[br]Audience: Yeah!

0:09:02.902,0:09:05.441
Are you hungry up there?

0:09:05.441,0:09:07.765
Who likes cheese?[br]Audience: Yeah!

0:09:07.765,0:09:09.978
Almond and cheese, right?[br]That's simple!

0:09:09.978,0:09:11.587
Piece of cake!

0:09:11.587,0:09:13.962
Let me show you what I do

0:09:13.962,0:09:15.496
when I'm willing to move away

0:09:15.496,0:09:17.552
from my comfort zone --

0:09:17.552,0:09:19.375
I'm pushing the envelope --

0:09:19.375,0:09:23.150
Let me show you creativity my way.

0:09:23.150,0:09:26.808
(Music)[br]I think this is the first cooking video

0:09:26.808,0:09:28.573
in the history of TED!

0:09:28.573,0:09:32.577
Almonds are being fried --

0:09:32.577,0:09:36.404
Olive oil --

0:09:36.404,0:09:39.841
Those almonds are brown, tasty.

0:09:39.841,0:09:41.623
We add water; the same water

0:09:41.623,0:09:45.271
that we may find [br]in a very distant planet,

0:09:45.271,0:09:47.457
in another galaxy.

0:09:47.457,0:09:55.484
And here we're going[br]to be blending those almonds.

0:09:55.484,0:09:58.593
And we're going to be freezing[br]that almond puree.

0:09:58.593,0:10:00.882
And we're going to use technology.

0:10:00.882,0:10:06.601
We're going to be making[br]this amazing puree of almond,

0:10:06.601,0:10:09.009
like almond butter.

0:10:09.009,0:10:15.969
Now, we're going [br]to be using some cream

0:10:15.969,0:10:19.531
and we're going to be mixing again.

0:10:19.531,0:10:21.888
Any food critic here?

0:10:21.888,0:10:23.854
Great, I'm lucky.

0:10:23.854,0:10:28.129
And now, we add liquid nitrogen.

0:10:28.129,0:10:31.837
And take a look when we move away [br]from the comfort zone --

0:10:31.837,0:10:35.257
What we can do for the few --

0:10:35.257,0:10:40.713
By getting a ladle, [br]a beautiful metal ladle --

0:10:40.713,0:10:45.639
We're able to introduce it[br]into this milk of almonds,

0:10:45.639,0:10:49.126
and a very thin layer is going [br]to be attached to the ladle.

0:10:49.126,0:10:51.485
We reintroduce the ladle.

0:10:51.485,0:10:53.088
We change the temperature,

0:10:53.088,0:10:55.051
and we're going to be able[br]to separate the almonds.

0:10:55.051,0:10:57.113
The almonds were hard,[br]they become liquid,

0:10:57.113,0:10:59.852
they become hard again,[br]but now, we change the texture!

0:10:59.852,0:11:01.988
We have the power to do that!

0:11:01.988,0:11:05.090
We have the power[br]to use creativity!

0:11:05.090,0:11:07.224
And you can do one,[br]and you can do another,

0:11:07.224,0:11:09.965
and this is telling me[br]that there is hope!

0:11:09.965,0:11:12.666
Because we can do [br]amazing things

0:11:12.666,0:11:15.543
with simple ingredients.

0:11:15.543,0:11:18.483
If we apply heat, it melts again.

0:11:18.483,0:11:20.693
We get the cheese,

0:11:20.693,0:11:22.177
and we're going to show you

0:11:22.177,0:11:24.439
how to make a mousse,[br]that, actually, if we want it,

0:11:24.439,0:11:26.490
I can make that same mousse

0:11:26.490,0:11:28.302
without cream and fat,

0:11:28.302,0:11:31.451
only water... only water!

0:11:31.451,0:11:35.223
No more fat in mousses![br](Laughter)

0:11:35.223,0:11:37.728
But this one has cheese.

0:11:37.728,0:11:39.422
We make the mousse

0:11:39.422,0:11:42.457
and, then, we fill up [br]the beautiful almond cups.

0:11:42.457,0:11:43.948
People of America,

0:11:43.948,0:11:46.488
two humble ingredients

0:11:46.488,0:11:52.494
elevated to a new dimension, great!

0:11:52.494,0:12:01.754
(Applause)

0:12:04.169,0:12:07.502
So, this is creativity for a chef,

0:12:07.502,0:12:09.774
but how can I put this creativity

0:12:09.774,0:12:13.396
that only feeds the few [br]to feed the many?

0:12:13.396,0:12:17.661
Brillat-Savarin, 1826,[br]one of the most amazing

0:12:17.699,0:12:21.436
food philosophers in[br]the history of mankind --

0:12:21.436,0:12:23.481
"The destiny of the nations[br]depends on the manner

0:12:23.481,0:12:27.272
in which they feed themselves."

0:12:27.272,0:12:31.410
Wow! I think our politicians,[br]but also ourselves --

0:12:31.410,0:12:38.401
We've forgotten such an amazing, [br]powerful, powerful phrase.

0:12:38.401,0:12:42.391
You know, almost two centuries[br]after he wrote this,

0:12:42.391,0:12:46.595
we still face, sometimes in America,[br]but around the world,

0:12:46.595,0:12:49.872
obesity and hunger.

0:12:49.872,0:12:53.401
How is it possible that [br]some, we can be so overweight,

0:12:53.401,0:12:58.473
while others barely know[br]what to put into their mouths?

0:12:58.473,0:13:02.288
But you know, I would love[br]to talk to you about

0:13:02.288,0:13:04.085
how to produce food,

0:13:04.085,0:13:05.914
but today I want to talk to you about

0:13:05.914,0:13:08.039
how we cook and handle that food,

0:13:08.039,0:13:10.118
because it can be equally important.

0:13:10.118,0:13:13.855
We need to make sure[br]that we start --

0:13:13.855,0:13:16.892
We need to stop throwing money [br]into the problem,

0:13:16.892,0:13:20.736
and really start investing money[br]into true solutions.

0:13:20.736,0:13:23.577
And understanding [br]the power of food,

0:13:23.577,0:13:25.695
and the power of cooking[br]and creativity,

0:13:25.695,0:13:27.702
this could be a great beginning.

0:13:27.702,0:13:30.207
Take a look at this.

0:13:30.207,0:13:32.654
This is Haiti.

0:13:32.654,0:13:34.337
Do you see the garbage?

0:13:34.337,0:13:38.708
Where do you think this garbage[br]came from, people? Where?

0:13:38.708,0:13:40.313
It came from overseas.

0:13:40.313,0:13:42.812
Yes, we have goodwill;[br]we went there to help.

0:13:42.812,0:13:44.352
But look at all the trash

0:13:44.352,0:13:47.107
we brought with us[br]in the process of helping!

0:13:47.221,0:13:49.721
No one is really even thinking about it.

0:13:49.721,0:13:52.135
How to take care of the garbage!

0:13:52.135,0:13:55.638
Creativity, and cooking[br]and thinking about food,

0:13:55.638,0:13:58.533
can help us to move this forward.

0:13:58.533,0:13:59.687
I have this friend who had

0:13:59.687,0:14:01.879
this simple, humble idea

0:14:01.879,0:14:04.939
of getting a newspaper --

0:14:04.939,0:14:07.058
If you're Republican you know[br]which one to use --

0:14:07.058,0:14:09.744
If you're a Democrat, too.[br](Laughter)

0:14:09.744,0:14:12.535
And he had a party[br]but he didn't have a lot of money,

0:14:12.568,0:14:14.561
and he needed a creative way

0:14:14.561,0:14:17.326
to be saving money.

0:14:17.326,0:14:19.054
And it was at this time,

0:14:19.054,0:14:20.689
that such a simple thing

0:14:20.689,0:14:27.819
as grabbing a piece of paper[br]-- a simple piece of paper --

0:14:27.819,0:14:30.497
and transform the beautiful paper

0:14:30.497,0:14:32.773
into something so simple

0:14:32.773,0:14:35.357
as a place to put peanuts,

0:14:35.357,0:14:39.142
like a plate to hold the peanuts

0:14:39.142,0:14:41.075
that will allow you to eat them,

0:14:41.075,0:14:42.276
and also, have a place

0:14:42.276,0:14:46.556
to put the garbage next. [br](Laughter)

0:14:46.556,0:14:48.350
Simple ideas, people,

0:14:48.350,0:14:51.917
can be helping to feed the world,

0:14:51.917,0:14:53.115
but we need to keep thinking,

0:14:53.115,0:14:54.697
and thinking hard.

0:14:54.697,0:14:57.532
A newspaper can only[br]be the beginning.

0:14:57.532,0:14:59.530
But take a look at this,

0:14:59.530,0:15:01.894
at what we have here --

0:15:01.894,0:15:04.551
Here we have clean cookstoves.

0:15:04.551,0:15:08.389
A woman cooking with [br]wood and charcoal,

0:15:08.389,0:15:12.072
but those cookstoves [br]are cleaner now.

0:15:12.072,0:15:15.720
Cleaner means that, even if[br]she's using wood and charcoal,

0:15:15.720,0:15:19.511
she's using, probably, [br]60 to 70 percent less.

0:15:19.511,0:15:23.652
So, by using less[br]we cut less trees,

0:15:23.652,0:15:25.519
by leaving trees in the forest,

0:15:25.519,0:15:28.822
the rain, that we're supposed[br]to be celebrating

0:15:28.822,0:15:30.798
because rain means water,

0:15:30.798,0:15:33.091
and water means life.

0:15:33.091,0:15:35.129
That rain doesn't create life.

0:15:35.129,0:15:37.398
That rain creates death

0:15:37.398,0:15:38.906
because we cut the trees,

0:15:38.906,0:15:43.476
and there's nothing,[br]no roots to give life to that soil,

0:15:43.476,0:15:45.327
and when the water comes down[br]from the mountains,

0:15:45.327,0:15:47.172
it takes away lives, homes,

0:15:47.172,0:15:53.216
and the only fertile soil[br]that we have left... Wow!

0:15:53.216,0:15:59.892
And we could be using this [paper][br]to make briquettes.

0:15:59.892,0:16:03.556
With paper and organic matter

0:16:03.556,0:16:08.860
that can help us to have[br]clean cookstoves

0:16:08.860,0:16:11.098
that are part of the solution --

0:16:11.098,0:16:14.200
feeding people, [br]giving them opportunities,

0:16:14.200,0:16:15.990
taking care of the environment,

0:16:15.990,0:16:19.236
all with a simple idea.

0:16:19.236,0:16:22.181
I use many clean cookstoves,

0:16:22.181,0:16:24.184
some use briquettes,

0:16:24.184,0:16:26.721
other ones use pellets,

0:16:26.721,0:16:29.418
other ones use charcoal,

0:16:29.418,0:16:33.744
but [with] other ones,[br]we use alcohol.

0:16:33.744,0:16:37.138
There's hope,[br]we know how to do it,

0:16:37.138,0:16:39.164
we know how to feed people,

0:16:39.164,0:16:42.035
but we need to be really investing

0:16:42.035,0:16:44.590
in true research and development,

0:16:44.590,0:16:46.209
because research and development

0:16:46.209,0:16:51.339
cannot be only part of the big[br]corporations of the world.

0:16:51.339,0:16:53.644
If we don't start[br]applying creativity,

0:16:53.644,0:16:54.918
research and development

0:16:54.918,0:16:56.410
into the third world,

0:16:56.410,0:16:58.966
we will never have hope

0:16:58.966,0:17:01.483
for those people[br]that need it the most.

0:17:01.483,0:17:04.619
And this was my simple contribution.

0:17:04.619,0:17:09.990
Why we don't cook with[br]zero emission of CO2?

0:17:09.990,0:17:12.827
Solar kitchens,[br]it's not the only way.

0:17:12.827,0:17:14.629
I believe in many ways,

0:17:14.629,0:17:17.904
but this is almost the dream way.

0:17:17.904,0:17:19.734
I went there, many times,

0:17:19.734,0:17:22.529
not trying to impose[br]the white man philosophy,

0:17:22.529,0:17:24.220
but trying to listen.

0:17:24.220,0:17:25.974
Because these people [br]in the third world,

0:17:25.974,0:17:28.022
they only want from us,

0:17:28.022,0:17:30.614
not our pity,[br]but our respect,

0:17:30.614,0:17:32.747
and they want us[br]to listen to them,

0:17:32.747,0:17:34.682
so we can really help them,

0:17:34.682,0:17:36.317
and not imposing solutions

0:17:36.317,0:17:38.482
that no one believes in.

0:17:38.482,0:17:41.904
And I did a simple thing --

0:17:41.904,0:17:43.451
Creativity --

0:17:43.451,0:17:46.407
The same creativity[br]that uses the sun.

0:17:46.407,0:17:49.903
A creativity that I used[br]to feed six people.

0:17:49.903,0:17:51.861
I painted this in black,

0:17:51.861,0:17:54.502
with black we attract the sun,

0:17:54.502,0:18:00.307
with the sun we're able to steam water[br]very, very quick --

0:18:00.307,0:18:01.910
as quick as that --

0:18:01.910,0:18:04.746
And forgive me for the video,[br]it was with my phone.

0:18:04.746,0:18:09.909
Video: "I'm cooking lentils

0:18:09.909,0:18:15.633
and I'm only using the sun! Wow!

0:18:15.633,0:18:19.000
Clean cookstoves are[br]a great way to cook."

0:18:26.741,0:18:32.989
(Applause)

0:18:33.927,0:18:37.747
Creativity in cooking can help solve,

0:18:37.747,0:18:39.480
can really help solve

0:18:39.480,0:18:42.750
the biggest challenges in our world.

0:18:42.750,0:18:46.672
Creativity can be the way[br]to teach people again

0:18:46.683,0:18:48.296
how to feed themselves,

0:18:48.296,0:18:49.969
by giving them the power

0:18:49.969,0:18:52.126
of knowing how to cook.

0:18:52.126,0:18:55.928
Through education[br]we can achieve that.

0:18:55.928,0:18:59.439
Education and creativity will be key.

0:18:59.439,0:19:03.386
If we really give people, [br]like in Haiti,

0:19:03.386,0:19:08.143
the tools through creativity[br]to feed themselves,

0:19:08.143,0:19:11.521
the world has hope.

0:19:11.521,0:19:15.957
Cooking is what makes us[br]uniquely human,

0:19:15.957,0:19:17.985
it's what differentiate us

0:19:17.985,0:19:22.477
from everyone else on this Earth.

0:19:22.477,0:19:25.633
Creativity and cooking, guys,[br]can give us hope

0:19:25.633,0:19:29.329
that we may have[br]a better world tomorrow.

0:19:29.329,0:19:33.298
I would like to use another phrase[br]of Brillat-Savarin,

0:19:33.298,0:19:35.192
"Show me what you eat,

0:19:35.192,0:19:38.220
and I will tell you who you are."

0:19:38.220,0:19:40.741
An important phrase,

0:19:40.741,0:19:44.143
but I will ask Mr. Brillat-Savarin

0:19:44.143,0:19:46.720
to allow me, in a humble way,

0:19:46.720,0:19:50.715
to help me update [br]this powerful phrase.

0:19:50.715,0:19:53.173
I think from now on,[br]it should be,

0:19:53.173,0:19:57.243
"Show me how you cook,

0:19:57.243,0:20:01.886
and I will tell you[br]who you really are."

0:20:01.886,0:20:03.836
My name is José Andrés,

0:20:03.836,0:20:05.440
I know I feed the few

0:20:05.440,0:20:07.895
but I really want to be [br]part of the solution

0:20:07.895,0:20:09.559
of feeding the world.

0:20:09.559,0:20:11.157
Thank you very much.

0:20:11.157,0:20:15.555
(Applause)
