Cookery is not chemistry. It is an art.

A good cook is not necessarily a good woman with an even temper. Some allowance should be made for artistic temperament.

Do not be afraid of simplicity. If you have a cold chicken for supper, why cover it with a tasteless white sauce which makes it look like a pretentious dish on the buffet table at some fance dress ball?

Do not be afraid to talk about food. Food which is worth eating is worth discussing. And there is the occult power of words which somehow will develop its qualities.

Cookery is not chemistry. It is an art. It requires instinct and taste rather than exact measurements.

Cookery is not chemistry. It is an art.

The pleasure of eating something because it is expensive has absolutely nothing to do with the taste of good cuisine.
