I enjoy cooking with wine, sometimes I even put it in the food I'm cooking.

It is hard to imagine a civilization without onions.

Sometimes ... it takes me an entire day to write a recipe, to communicate it correctly. It's really like writing a little short story.

I’m awfully sorry for people who are taken in by all of today’s dietary mumbo jumbo. They are not getting any enjoyment out of their food.

If you are going to flip something, you must have the courage of your convictions.

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.

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