I believe it's a cook's moral obligation to add more butter given the chance.

Recipes are not assembly manuals. Recipes are guides and suggestions for a process that is infinitely nuanced. Recipes are sheet music.

Stories--from the literature of our culture to descriptions of our days to the lunatic's ravings--appear to be hardwired into us. Even in sleep we tell ourselves stories through our dreams, and it's been shown that those who are prevented from doing so cease to function.

Only when a chef changed the way you saw the world, through cooking, did food truly become art, and that was rare indeed.

We better take care of the earth or we're gonna have shitty food, and having shitty food is no fun.

A kitchen is a good place to be, almost always the best place in the house.

People, you have six senses! The last one is common! Use it!
