More quotes by Wolfgang Puck
Most seasonings are based on family tradition.
Wolfgang Puck
I learn more from the one restaurant that didn't work than from all the ones that were successes.
Wolfgang Puck
For me, cooking is an expression of the land where you are and the culture of that place.
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
America has undergone a total food and wine revolution.
Wolfgang Puck
When you have made as many mistakes as I have, then you can be as good as me.
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 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
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
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
Food television opened the eyes, and palates, of our guests. They became more adventurous.
Wolfgang Puck
A chef is a mixture maybe of artistry and craft. You have to learn the craft really to get there.
Wolfgang Puck
What I don't like is breakfast in the morning. I have a double-espresso cappuccino, but no food.
Wolfgang Puck
I grew up in Austria, and for me real comfort food is Wiener Schnitzel. Wiener Schnitzel and mashed potatoes because it reminds me of my youth... It reminds me when I grow up and it feels very comforting.
Wolfgang Puck
I think the time of the formal dinners is over.
Wolfgang Puck
New Yorkers think they have everything, all the best art and music. But really L.A. is a better place.
Wolfgang Puck
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.
Wolfgang Puck
I grew up so poor in Austria that we never took a vacation with my family.
Wolfgang Puck
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
When I was 27, if I didn't put 15 things in one dish I wasn't happy.
