Be a fearless cook! Try out new ideas and new recipes, but always buy the freshest and finest ingredients, whatever they may be. Furnish your kitchen with the most solid and workmanlike equipment you can find. Keep your knives ever sharp and - toujours bon appetit!

I love to teach - that's my role.

The more you know, the more you can create. There's no end to imagination in the kitchen.

If you're in a good profession, it's hard to get bored, because you're never finished - there will always be work you haven't done.

Cooking is one failure after another, and that's how you finally learn.

Just how could a nation often be great if it's bread tastes want Kleenex.
