I was 32 when I started cooking; up until then, I just ate.
The main thing is to have a gutsy approach and use your head.
I was a romantic, messy thinker. I was raised with very conservative beliefs, but that was a long time ago.
I was going to be a great woman novelist. Then the war came along and I think it's hard for young people today, don't you, to realize that when World War II happened we were dying to go and help our country.
I'm a beet freak. I put them in the pressure cooker.
Animals that we eat are raised for food in the most economical way possible, and the serious food producers do it in the most humane way possible. I think anyone who is a carnivore needs to understand that meat does not originally come in these neat little packages.
