Cooking is like painting or writing a song. Just as there are only so many notes or colors, there are only so many flavors - it's how you combine them that sets you apart.

More quotes by Wolfgang Puck
One of the things I've found now, not just for television, but in the restaurant, is that you have many anxious chefs, who know how to cook twenty recipes really well, but they don't have a good foundation for other things.
Wolfgang Puck
I have two young boys, and my wife is at home. Most of the time, I will cook the food, and we'll eat together.
Wolfgang Puck
It is going to have healthy food and exercise mixed together. With smaller portions, and more exercise, you live a better life.

You can eat an omelet at midnight, at lunchtime, all day long. It's perfect for every occasion.

Television in the '80s was very limited. There was no Food Network. When I opened Spago, I had the kitchen in the dining hall. It was probably the first restaurant to do so. The dining scene became more casual. All these cooking shows have transformed our profession one-hundred percent.
Wolfgang Puck
I want to teach people how to do it the right way. And it is from that they can teach their children how to do it properly. It will teach them how to cook better and healthier at home.
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
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
When you have made as many mistakes as I have, then you can be as good as me.
Wolfgang Puck
Don't go and cook Indian food if you never cooked Indian food, you know?
Wolfgang Puck
Stay away from iodized table salt. It's just bad and doesn't help food taste good.
Wolfgang Puck
I learn more from the one restaurant that didn't work than from all the ones that were successes.
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
Food television opened the eyes, and palates, of our guests. They became more adventurous.
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
Television in the '80s was very limited. There was no Food Network.
Wolfgang Puck
I think it's really important to keep on staying motivated.
Wolfgang Puck
It is so nice to talk to someone that has a passion for food and family.
Wolfgang Puck
For example, you can eat a Caesar salad and say, Wow, I ate so healthy today. You forget there was a quarter-cup of oil in there, and all the calories are from fat. So it's better if you eat a grilled chicken breast, some steamed brown rice, and a little salad with balsamic vinegar on top.
Wolfgang Puck
Restaurants are like having children: its fun to make them, maybe, but then you have them for good and bad. You are going to have to raise them and if something goes wrong when they are 30 years old, they will still be your little boy.
