author cook elizabeth english food owner richard
English food writer Elizabeth David, cook and author Richard Olney and the owner of Domaine Tempier Lulu Peyraud have all really inspired the way I think about food.
cooking incredibly money work
When you don't have much money, cooking can be incredibly reassuring. You feel like you're doing meaningful work.
built cook eat kids learned
In Berkeley, we built the garden and a kitchen classroom. We've been working on it for 12 years. We've learned a lot from it. If kids grow it and cook it, they eat it.
children kids cooking
It's about children cooking themselves, growing themselves. When kids grow it and cook it they eat it.
cooking dieting more-time
We've been so disconnected agriculturally and culturally from food. We spend more time on dieting than on cooking.
shopping cooking rhythm
Cooking and shopping for food brings rhythm and meaning to our lives.
creative cooking quality
It is a fundamental fact that no cook, however creative and capable, can produce a dish of a quality any higher than that of its raw ingredients.
garden cooks
Always explore your garden and go to the market before you decide what cook.
taste ingredients cooks
When you have the best and tastiest ingredients, you can cook very simply and the food will be extraordinary because it tastes like what it is.
cook gone greens market olive piece slice time tomatoes wilt
If I've gone to the market on Saturday, and I go another time on Tuesday, then I'm really prepared. I can cook a little piece of fish; I can wilt some greens with garlic; I can slice tomatoes and put a little olive oil on. It's effortless.
great hands lewis rest soul
Edna Lewis had the hands and soul of a great artist, and like all great artists, she had something of which the rest of us know little or nothing.
change might people revealed themselves ultimately
Every change ultimately is one for the better. You don't know how it is going to be. It is just shuffling the cards, and people who haven't revealed themselves might reveal themselves.
attending changes details happens keeping learning organic somebody standard
I think she's really up there at the top. It happens only when somebody is very non-compromising and when somebody is attending to all the details and learning about all the changes in food. The way she has incorporated organic ingredients into her standard repertoire, she is somebody who is keeping up on what's important and getting better at doing it.
engaged intimacy listen quiet
She just had a very quiet way of speaking, and it really engaged you because she was so soft-spoken; you had to listen carefully. There was a kind of intimacy that you immediately had.
