On the whole, I prefer Christmas as an adult than I did as a child.

Good olive oil, good butter, milk - they give food taste and depth and a richness that you cant reproduce with low-fat ingredients.

Emotion is messy, contradictory... and true.

I don't believe you can ever really cook unless you love eating.

In fact I am quite snappy and irritable, and I don't know if I'd like to make myself worse in that respect.

There is a vast difference between how things seem from the outside and how they feel on the inside.

Anyway, what makes people look youthful is the quality of their skin and I don't think you can change that.
