I love root vegetables: carrots, parsnips, and turnips.

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.

In my generation, except for a few people who'd gone into banking or nursing or something like that, middle-class women didn't have careers. You were to marry and have children and be a nice mother. You didn't go out and do anything. I found that I got restless.

It is hard to imagine a civilization without onions.

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

To be a good cook you have to have a love of the good, a love of hard work, and a love of creating.

The secret of a happy marriage is finding the right person. You know they're right if you love to be with them all the time.
