The decisions you make are a choice of values that reflect your life in every way.

To have a basic ingredient that can be prepared a million different ways is a beautiful thing.

Cooking and shopping for food brings rhythm and meaning to our lives.

People cooked with a certain integrity before fast food, 50 or 60 years ago. When the cheap food arrived, and we didn't have the education and deep cultural roots to hold on, we got swept away by fast, cheap and easy.

Always explore your garden and go to the market before you decide what cook.

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.

The dinner table is a rite of civilization and we need to participate in that to keep our families together, to keep our communities together.
