One of the important requirements for learning how to cook is that you also learn how to eat.

You have to do it and do it, until you get it right.

I still feel that French cooking is the most important in the world, one of the few that has rules. If you follow the rules, you can do pretty well.

Anything that says 'healthy' I say away from... Giving up butter, for instance, means that in about two years you will be covered in dandruff.

I think every woman should have a blowtorch.

The American poultry industry had made it possible to grow a fine-looking fryer in record time and sell it at a reasonable price, but no one mentioned that the result usually tasted like the stuffing inside of a teddy bear.

Food, like the people who eat it, can be stimulated by wine or spirits. And, as with people, it can also be spoiled.
