Ye gods! But you're not standing around holding it by the hand all this time. No. [...] [T]he dough takes care of itself. [...] While you cannot speed up the process, you can slow it down at any point by setting the dough in a cooler place [...] then continue where you left off, when you are ready to do so. In other words, you are the boss of that dough.

I would happily die with a bottle of white Burgundy in my mouth.

No matter what happens in the kitchen, never apologize.

I think careful cooking is love, don't you?
