The law of diminishing returns is something I really believe in.

When you acknowledge, as you must, that there is no such thing as perfect food, only the idea of it, then the real purpose of striving toward perfection becomes clear: to make people happy, that is what cooking is all about.

I didnt want to be encumbered by what anyone elses abilities were, their equipment or environment or their ability to get certain products.

We go through our careers and things happen to us. Those experiences made me what I am.

The law of diminishing returns is something I really believe in.

I think every young cook wants to write a book.

Good food is a good trend.
