I don't think about whether people will remember me or not. I've been an ok person. I've learned a lot. I've taught people a thing or two. That's what's important.

In department stores, so much kitchen equipment is bought indiscriminately by people who just come in for men's underwear.

It is hard to imagine a civilization without onions.

We had a happy marriage because we were together all the time. We were friends as well as husband and wife. We just had a good time.

Never apologize for your cooking.

I would far prefer to have things happen as they naturally do, such as the mousse refusing to leave the mold, the potatoes sticking to the skillet, the apple charlotte slowly collapsing. One of the secrets of cooking is to learn to correct something if you can, and bear with it if you cannot.

The secret of a happy marriage is finding the right person. You know they're right if you love to be with them all the time.

I was thirty-seven years old and still discovering who I was.

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.

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

People who are not interested in food always seem rather dry and unloving and don't have a real gusto for life.
