More quotes by Wolfgang Puck
I grew up so poor in Austria that we never took a vacation with my family.
Wolfgang Puck
Omelets are about technique. Now, different people make it different ways, but, if you're a chef in Europe, an omelet has to be cooked on the outside, with just a simmer of color, and the inside has to be soft. It should be cooked like a steak - medium rare.
Wolfgang Puck
I fell in love with food because of my mother. So, I will definitely be sharing and expanding more recipes from my culture (as well as many other cultures), and will be sharing recipes that I have experienced from my whole culinary life.
Wolfgang Puck
When I was 27, if I didn't put 15 things in one dish I wasn't happy.
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
A chef is a mixture maybe of artistry and craft. You have to learn the craft really to get there.
Wolfgang Puck
For me, cooking is an expression of the land where you are and the culture of that place.

My passion for writing cookbooks really came from my love of collecting cookbooks.
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.

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
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.
Wolfgang Puck
It's easier being a judge than a competitor. As a judge, you don't have any risks. That makes it much more enjoyable.
Wolfgang Puck
The most important thing for me is to really buy the best ingredient.
Wolfgang Puck
It is going to have healthy food and exercise mixed together. With smaller portions, and more exercise, you live a better life.
Wolfgang Puck
Most seasonings are based on family tradition.
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
There's a lot of processed food in America and I know that can make some tourists who're used to fresh food feel sick.
Wolfgang Puck
Television in the '80s was very limited. There was no Food Network.
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
Food television opened the eyes, and palates, of our guests. They became more adventurous.
