No one's more important than people.
A house without a cat is like a day without sunshine, a pie without fromage, a dinner without wine.
Everything can have drama if it's done right. Even a pancake.
The more you know, the more you can create. There's no end to imagination in the kitchen.
Without peanuts, it isn't a cocktail party.
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.
