I never feel lonely in the kitchen. Food is very friendly.
Too much trouble," "Too expensive," or "Who will know the difference" are death knells for good food.
noodles are not only amusing but delicious ...
The tomato hides its griefs. Internal damage is hard to spot ...
It's hard to imagine a civilization without onions; in one form or another their flavor blends into almost everything in the meal except the desert.
In France cooking is a serious art form and a national sport. I think the French enjoy the complication of the art form and the cooking for cooking's sake. You can talk with a concierge or police officer about food in France as a general rule. It is not the general rule here. Classical cuisine, which I hope we are going back to, means certain ways of doing things and certain ways of not doing things. If you know classical French cooking you can do anything. If you don't know the basics, you turn out slop.
I love good, fresh food cooked by someone who knows what he's doing.
No one's more important than people.
Anything that says 'healthy' I say away from... Giving up butter, for instance, means that in about two years you will be covered in dandruff.

There is nothing nicer than a kitchen really made for a cook. Things that are designed to be used always have an innate beauty.
Some children like to make castles out of their rice pudding, or faces with raisins for eyes. It is forbidden -- so sternly that, when they grow up, they take a horrid revenge by dying meringues pale blue or baking birthday cakes in the form of horseshoes or lyres or whatnot.
It's a shame to be caught up in something that doesn't absolutely make you tremble with joy.
My, I get so depressed after a poor meal; that's why I can never stay in England for more than a week.
