To feel safe and warm on a cold wet night, all you really need is soup.

No one who cooks cooks alone.

When I was alone, I lived on eggplant, the stove top cook's strongest ally.

I was taught in my Introduction to Anthropology [course in college], it is not just the great works of [hu]mankind that make a culture. It is the daily things, like what people eat and how they serve it.

No one who cooks, cooks alone. Even at her most solitary, a cook in the kitchen is surrounded by generations of cooks past, the advice and menus of cooks present, the wisdom of cookbook writers.

People who like to cook like to talk about food....without one cook giving another cook a tip or two, human life might have died out a long time ago.

The old days were slower. People buttered their bread without guilt and sat down to dinner en famille.
