I'm very interested in my new kitchen equipment shop. I've started it with two friends.

Every day holds the possibility of a miracle.

Some sensible person once remarked that you spend the whole of your life either in your bed or in your shoes. Having done the best you can by shoes and bed, devote all the time and resources at your disposal to the building up of a fine kitchen. It will be, as it should be, the most comforting and comfortable room in the house.

It is a very great mistake to suppose, as a few English cooks still do, that spaghetti and macaroni should be soaked in water before cooking.

I don't copy recipes without trying them out. I don't reprint without trying them again.
