The destiny of nations depends on how they nourish themselves.

You first parents of the human race...who ruined yourself for an apple, what might you have done for a truffled turkey?

The sense of smell, like a faithful counsellor, foretells its character.

In fine, the truffle is the very diamond of gastronomy.

Those from whom nature has withheld taste invented trousers.

The universe is nothing without the things that live in it, and everything that lives, eats.

In the hands of an able cook, fish can become an inexhaustible source of perpetual delight.
