As you get older, you shouldn't waste time drinking bad wine.

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

It's fun to get together and have something good to eat at least once a day. That's what human life is all about - enjoying things.

Learn how to cook! That's the way to save money. You don't save it buying hamburger helpers, and prepared foods; you save it by buying fresh foods in season or in large supply, when they are cheapest and usually best, and you prepare them from scratch at home. Why pay for someone else's work, when if you know how to do it, you can save all that money for yourself?

Noncooks think it's silly to invest two hours' work in two minutes' enjoyment; but if cooking is evanescent, so is the ballet.

Fat gives things flavor.

Any disaster is a learning process.
