The dinner hour is a sacred, happy time when everyone should be together and relaxed.

Dining with one's friends and beloved family is certainly one of life's primal and most innocent delights, one that is both soul-satisfying and eternal.

Too much trouble,' 'Too expensive,' or 'Who will know the difference' are death knells for good food. ... Cooking is not a particularly difficult art, and the more you cook and learn about cooking, the more sense it makes.

Noodles are not only amusing but delicious.

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

Just speak very loudly and quickly, and state your position with utter conviction, as the French do, and you'll have a marvelous time!

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