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

I think every woman should have a blowtorch.

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

With enough butter, anything is good

How can a nation be called great if its bread tastes like kleenex?

People who are not interested in food always seem rather dry and unloving and don't have a real gusto for life.

the more experience you have, the more interesting cooking is because you know what can happen to the food. In the beginning you can look at a chicken and it doesn't mean much, but once you have done some cooking you can see in that chicken a parade of things you will be able to create.
