...no one is born a great cook, one learns by doing.

Everything can have drama if it's done right. Even a pancake.

Pro-choice is the only way to be-- because women are human beings, after all, and should be treated as such.

I found that the recipes in most - in all - the books I had were really not adequate. They didn't tell you enough... I won't do anything unless I'm told why I'm doing it. So I felt that we needed fuller explanations so that if you followed one of those recipes, it should turn out exactly right.

I'm not wild about those twenty-four hour marinades

It's a shame to be caught up in something that doesn't absolutely make you tremble with joy.

Just speak very loudly and quickly, and state your position with utter conviction, as the French do, and you'll have a marvelous time!
