More quotes by Wolfgang Puck
What I don't like is breakfast in the morning. I have a double-espresso cappuccino, but no food.
Wolfgang Puck
The only way to teach people how to truly do it and do it the right way, is to get those ingredients and kitchen tools in front of them and in their hands to use.
Wolfgang Puck
Thirty-five years ago, being a cook was the same as being a used-car salesman.
Wolfgang Puck
When I was 27, if I didn't put 15 things in one dish I wasn't happy.
Wolfgang Puck
A lot of chefs are traditional and do it very well. But the ones who are the most successful are the ones who change things. That is why someone like Heston Blumenthal is a genius.
Wolfgang Puck
I want to help build their basic food terminology.
Wolfgang Puck
I want to teach [people] the secret of great visual presentation. Your stomach sees the food first, and I want to help them match food flavor profiles with the aesthetics of everything.
Wolfgang Puck
Television in the '80s was very limited. There was no Food Network.
Wolfgang Puck
Young people want to be famous before they know how to cook, before they know how to treat people, before they know what hospitality means. I stayed in France for seven years and Austria for three, so before I was a chef anywhere I was already cooking for 10 years.
Wolfgang Puck
For me, I don't expect to have a really amazing meal each time I dine out. Having a good meal with your loved ones - that's what makes the experience.
Wolfgang Puck
When you meet someone, ask about what hobby they have, not what they do. People always ask me about cooking, but I prefer to talk about tennis or boxing.
Wolfgang Puck
I think I generally try to buy the best quality and keep it simple. I don't try to make too many decorations, too many things with it.
Wolfgang Puck
Now everybody thinks that once you do Top Chef, then 13 weeks later you're a chef. Nobody wants to learn to cook anymore.
Wolfgang Puck
I won't quit my day job. I like restaurants. I don't do a lot of television, either, even though people come to me with projects all the time. I have to spend time in the kitchen.
Wolfgang Puck
I like to be firm. But it is easier to be nice than to be nasty.
Wolfgang Puck
Only you can judge your life. You have to live up to your own expectations.
Wolfgang Puck
For me, cooking is an expression of the land where you are and the culture of that place.
Wolfgang Puck
The food could taste amazing however, if you present a plate of misfortunate looking food...you would really question yourself about whether or not you should eat it.
Wolfgang Puck
To me, an airplane is a great place to diet.
Wolfgang Puck
Nutrition is just so important to me, mostly especially for children.
