I'm a beet freak. I put them in the pressure cooker.

One of the secrets, and pleasures, of cooking is to learn to correct something if it goes awry; and one of the lessons is to grin and bear it if it cannot be fixed.

...no one is born a great cook, one learns by doing.

We are so bemused by our own petard, that we are unable to look at things objectively.

It's hard to imagine a civilization without onions; in one form or another their flavor blends into almost everything in the meal except the desert.

I think careful cooking is love, don't you? The loveliest thing you can cook for someone who's close to you is about as nice a valentine as you can give.

People who love to eat are always the best people.
