More quotes by Mario Batali
The passion of the Italian or the Italian-American population is endless for food and lore and everything about it.
Mario Batali
Although the skills aren't hard to learn, finding the happiness and finding the satisfaction and finding fulfillment in continuously serving somebody else something good to eat, is what makes a really good restaurant.
Mario Batali
I might use milk if I was using a touch of milk to make like a lasagna or a baked pasta. But cream? That is totally not the way they do it in Italy, and it's not a very good thing. It's kind of a blanket for flavor.
Mario Batali
In growing up in Seattle, I don't know a single family that didn't barbecue or cook on the weekends and make its own kind of simple, pared-down, what I call Pacific Northwest cooking.
Mario Batali
Food, like most things, is best when left to its own simple beauty.
Mario Batali
My family makes these vinegars - out of everything from grapes to peaches and cherries. We go through the whole process with the giant vat and drainer, label them, and give them as Christmas presents.
Mario Batali
Look at cookbooks with your kids and ask them what sounds good.
Mario Batali
Food is everyday-it has to be, or we would not survive for long. But food is never just something to eat. It is something to find or hunt or cultivate first of all.
Mario Batali
Protein has been intensely over-represented on the plate. Now, the garden should be the main drag for main courses.
Mario Batali
What will always remain is love, passion and family time.
Mario Batali
The very common error of young or unconfident cooks is to keep putting more of their own personal ideology into a plate until there's so much noise that you really can't even hear a tune. You can say more in an empty space than you can in a crowded one.
Mario Batali
The American Dream is ownership a house, a car, a vacation home and, even better, your own business
Mario Batali
Even though you'll see gnocchi or linguine everywhere in some of the regions of Italy, each of those chefs has their own expression of that which expresses more about the place they were exactly born than it does about trying to be a part of the greater mass. And that's the Italian culture.
Mario Batali
Indianapolis versus Denver would not be a great one gastronomically.
Mario Batali
Find something you love, because if you love what you do, you'll never spend a day at work.
Mario Batali
I got some media coverage for using the tail, the ear, the oink.
Mario Batali
My last meal? The food would be much less significant than the company.
Mario Batali
Any simple but delicious dish that celebrates the season and locality is what I want to be known for.
Mario Batali
When I was in college, I used to write little ditties and short stories and poetry for my friends. Writing a book is another thing. It is so much different from my traditional day of dirty fingernails and greasy hair and hot pans.
Mario Batali
I think that there is philanthropy and there is publicity. If you can marry the two to do something good, then I think it's great. Some of the other guys go around and slag people as a profession. That's not so interesting to me, because it's easy to take down, it's harder to build.
