Never apologize for your cooking.

I think the inner person is the most important.... I would like to see an invention that keeps the mind alert. That's what is important.

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

The shellfish thing is very scary. You have to know the people you buy from and exactly where their wholesalers are getting the fish from.

There is nothing nicer than a kitchen really made for a cook. Things that are designed to be used always have an innate beauty.

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

There are reasons, and then there are excuses.
