More quotes by 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.

The most important thing for me is to really buy the best ingredient.
Wolfgang Puck
I want to give people a basic education, and to help them think for themselves when it comes to food.
