Eating is the secret to good cooking.

Any disaster is a learning process.

Always remember: If you're alone in the kitchen and you drop the lamb, you can always just pick it up. Who's going to know?

Noncooks think it's silly to invest two hours' work in two minutes' enjoyment; but if cooking is evanescent, so is the ballet.

I was never a spy. I was with the OSS organization. We had a number of women, but we were all office help.

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

There is nothing worse than grilled vegetables.
