If you're good with a knife, you don't need your eyes.

Molecular gastronomy is not bad... but without sound, basic culinary technique, it is useless.

What tends to happen is that people will go - they've got hot broth, you know, they've added some liquid to their drippings, they've brought that up to heat. And then they try to add in a big clump of just kind of a handful of flour, and of course, it turns into library paste.

I think a lot of food shows, especially when we started 'Good Eats' back in the late '90s, they were still really about food. 'Good Eats' isn't about food, it's about entertainment. If, however, we can virally infect you with knowledge or interest, then all the better.

I know people that could serve me canned tuna and saltine crackers and have me feel more at home at their table than some people who can cook circles around me. The more you try to impress people, generally the less you do.

Recipe writers hate to write about heat. They despise it. Because there aren't proper words for communicating what should be done with it.

Although I don't take myself very seriously, I do take my work extraordinarily seriously.
