I think the inner person is the most important.... I would like to see an invention that keeps the mind alert. That's what is important.

The only real stumbling block is fear of failure. In cooking you've got to have a what-the-hell attitude.

If you're buying tomatoes pick them up and smell them-they should have a lovely perfume. They need to be kept at fifty degrees or above, particularly during the growing season, because that's when they develop their flavor.
