I think if you can take one or two things from a cookbook, it's successful.

Success is measured by the memories you create.

I think that you’ve got to make something that pleases you and hope that other people feel the same way.

My favorite wines are Zinfandels.

My childhood wasn't full of wonderful culinary memories.

Anyone can make a good roast chicken.

For me, thats one of the important things about cooking. What was good enough yesterday may not be good enough today.
