Sometimes...we don't want to feel like a postmodern, postfeminist, overstretched woman but, rather, a domestic goddess, trailing nutmeggy fumes of baking pie in our languorous wake.

I am not a chef. I am not even a trained or professional cook. My qualification is as an eater.

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

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

You don't go around grieving all the time, but the grief is still there and always will be.

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

(In cooking), there is always room for careful tinkering.
