I found that the recipes in most - in all - the books I had were really not adequate. They didn't tell you enough... I won't do anything unless I'm told why I'm doing it. So I felt that we needed fuller explanations so that if you followed one of those recipes, it should turn out exactly right.

A house without a cat is like a day without sunshine, a pie without fromage, a dinner without wine.

If you're in a good profession, it's hard to get bored, because you're never finished - there will always be work you haven't done.

It's so beautifully arranged on the plate - you know someone's fingers have been all over it.

Until I discovered cooking, I was never really interested in anything.

People were hysterical about Communism the way people today are hysterical about flag burning. I'm really against these people who try to show that they're great patriots, because they're not thinking, they're just being hysterical.

It's a shame to be caught up in something that doesn't absolutely make you tremble with joy.

If you're not ready to fail, you're not going to learn how to cook.

I don't use the word gourmet. The word doesn't mean anything anymore. 'Gourmet' makes it sound like someone is putting sherry wine in the corn-flake casserole.
