I found that if I offered to cook for a girl, my odds improved radically over simply asking a girl out. Through my efforts to attract the opposite sex, I found that not only did cooking work, but that it was actually fun.

A home cook who relies too much on a recipe is sort of like a pilot who reads the plane's instruction manual while flying.

I don't like to be polarizing. It's not who I am.

I'm not a slave driver or a yeller. I was yelled at in kitchens and other workplaces.

Do not allow watching food to replace making food.

I grill almost all of my fish with the skin on because that gives you real protection at least on one side. It's a nice barrier against super high heat which tends to make a lot of fish to turn really flaky. It's very easy to overcook fish on the grill. But I still brush it with oil before I start.

There are no bad foods, only bad food habits.
