Teaching kids how to feed themselves and how to live in a community responsibly is the center of an education.

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.

It's about children cooking themselves, growing themselves. When kids grow it and cook it they eat it.

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

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.

I have a love affair with tomatoes and corn. I remember them from my childhood. I only had them in the summer. They were extraordinary.

Let things taste the way they are.
