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.

More quotes by 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
Television in the '80s was very limited. There was no Food Network.
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 left school when I was 14 to work in kitchens.
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
Now everybody thinks that once you do Top Chef, then 13 weeks later you're a chef. Nobody wants to learn to cook anymore.
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
For me, cooking is an expression of the land where you are and the culture of that place.
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
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
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 believe that London is the most exciting food city in Europe.
Wolfgang Puck
Don't go and cook Indian food if you never cooked Indian food, you know?
Wolfgang Puck
To me, an airplane is a great place to diet.
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
You can eat an omelet at midnight, at lunchtime, all day long. It's perfect for every occasion.
Wolfgang Puck
Thirty-five years ago, being a cook was the same as being a used-car salesman.
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
I want to help build their basic food terminology.
