More quotes by Wolfgang Puck
I want to help build their basic food terminology.
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 tell everybody the same thing: You have to make every dish so when you taste it, you should remember it when you go home.
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
Prep things in advance so that you don't have to cook everything at the last moment.
Wolfgang Puck
I left school when I was 14 to work in kitchens.
Wolfgang Puck
I really love Paris. It's my favorite city.
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
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
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
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
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
I learn more from the one restaurant that didn't work than from all the ones that were successes.
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
My passion for writing cookbooks really came from my love of collecting cookbooks.
Wolfgang Puck
It's an interesting thing, Top Chef. Some of the contestants will make you one great dish, and then make you something on the next show that will make you say, Is that the same person?
Wolfgang Puck
Stay away from iodized table salt. It's just bad and doesn't help food taste good.
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
For me, cooking is an expression of the land where you are and the culture of that place.
