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.

I like the Japanese knives, I like French knives. Whatever's sharp.

I would say that I mostly use Kosher Salt for seasoning my water and flour. I love sea salt, too. I think both are just fine, as long as it's not iodized salt.

It was a revolution, but now it is an evolution. People know more ingredients, people know more techniques, and people look for more ingredients they've never looked for before. In the '80s, you couldn't find raw tuna in any restaurant that wasn't Japanese. Now, you can't find any restaurant without it or sashimi.

Italian food is all about ingredients and it's not fussy and it's not fancy.

Stay away from iodized table salt. It's just bad and doesn't help food taste good.

A good chef has to be a manager, a businessman and a great cook. To marry all three together is sometimes difficult.

I think the time of the formal dinners is over.

My passion for writing cookbooks really came from my love of collecting cookbooks.
Wolfgang Puck
Image
I used to write cookbooks. It was passion to try to bring healthy and fun recipes to people's homes. It was a way to bring my home to theirs.

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.

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.
