People who love to eat are always the best people.
You don't have to cook fancy or complicated masterpieces - just good food from fresh ingredients.
If you're buying tomatoes pick them up and smell them-they should have a lovely perfume. They need to be kept at fifty degrees or above, particularly during the growing season, because that's when they develop their flavor.
There is nothing worse than grilled vegetables.
Find something you're passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it.
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!
