Just like becoming an expert in wine, you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford.

Julia Child

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.

We hit it off immediately, especially Helene, who was a 'swallow-life-in-big-gulps' kind of person.

Eating is the secret to good cooking.
Julia Child

Too much trouble, Too expensive, or Who will know the difference are death knells for good food.
