Of all the items on the menu, soup is that which exacts the most delicate perfection and the strictest attention.
Above all, keep it simple.
Good food is the basis of true happiness
So long as people don't know how to eat they will not have good cooks.
Soup puts the heart at ease, calms down the violence of hunger, eliminates the tension of the day, and awakens and refines the appetite.
People who do not accept the new, grow old very quickly.
