It's foolish to go through life bemoaning the fact that you can't have this or that. Twaddle! You can omit certain foods and still enjoy eating.

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

Nothing is quite as intoxicating as the smell of bacon frying in the morning, save perhaps the smell of coffee brewing.

I’ve long said that if I were about to be executed and were given a choice of my last meal, it would be bacon and eggs.

I have had, in my time, memorable meals of scrambled eggs with fresh truffles, scrambled eggs with caviar and other glamorous things, but to me, there are few things as magnificent as scrambled eggs, pure and simple, perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned.

Too many simple green salads suffer from a lack of imagination.

I don't like gourmet cooking or 'this' cooking or 'that' cooking. I like good cooking.
