I think anyone who is a carnivore needs to understand that meat does not originally come in these neat little packages.

the more experience you have, the more interesting cooking is because you know what can happen to the food. In the beginning you can look at a chicken and it doesn't mean much, but once you have done some cooking you can see in that chicken a parade of things you will be able to create.

I'm afraid that surprise, shock, and regret is the fate of authors when they finally see themselves on the page.

Cooking hasn't yet been accepted as the art form it is. It should be on the level with any of the other art forms.

I'm very much for making everything safe. The more natural the means we use to raise our vegetables and get rid of bugs, the better.

The problem for cookery-bookery writers like me is to understand the extent of our readers' experience. I hope have solved that riddle in my books by simply telling everything. The experienced cook will know to skip through the verbiage, but the explanations will be there for those who still need them.

Tears mess up your makeup.
