I am so happy to see more and more people in this country are becoming addicted to cheese.

The roe of the Russian sturgeon has probably been present at more important international affairs than have all the Russian dignitaries of history combined. This seemingly simple article of diet has taken its place in the world along with pearls, sables, old silver, and Cellini cups.

In a house without a genuine kitchen, one of the delights of growing up is lost.

It is true thrift to use the best ingredients available and to waste nothing.

Good bread and good butter go together. They are one of the perfect marriages in gastronomy, and they never fail to cheer me.

I am still convinced that a good, simple, homemade cookie is preferable to all the store-bought cookies one can find.

Like the theater, offering food and hospitality to people is a matter of showmanship, and no matter how simple the performance, unless you do it well, with love and originality, you have a flop on your hands.
