I'm not hard to please, I'm content with the very best.

As far as cuisine is concerned one must read everything, see everything, hear everything, try everything, observe everything, in order to retain in the end, just a little bit.

There are many people who claim to be good cooks; just as there are many people who, after having repainted the garden gate take themselves to be painters.

Before judging a thin man, one must get some information. Perhaps he was once fat.

If he is thin, I will probably dine poorly. If he is both thin and sad, the only hope is in flight.

Cuisine is not invariable like a Codex formula. But one must guard against tampering with the essential bases.

A good apprentice cook must be as polite with the dishwasher as with the chef.
