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.

More quotes by Wolfgang Puck
I think it's really important to keep on staying motivated.
Wolfgang Puck
I've discussed this with many doctors, and it is just so imperative that people learn how to properly cook food to get those vital nutrients out of them.
Wolfgang Puck
Restaurants are like having children: its fun to make them, maybe, but then you have them for good and bad. You are going to have to raise them and if something goes wrong when they are 30 years old, they will still be your little boy.
Wolfgang Puck
Don't go and cook Indian food if you never cooked Indian food, you know?
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
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
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
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
One thing I always say is being a great chef today is not enough - you have to be a great businessman.
Wolfgang Puck
For me, I don't expect to have a really amazing meal each time I dine out. Having a good meal with your loved ones - that's what makes the experience.
Wolfgang Puck
I learn more from the one restaurant that didn't work than from all the ones that were successes.
Wolfgang Puck
Stay away from iodized table salt. It's just bad and doesn't help food taste good.
Wolfgang Puck
I believe that London is the most exciting food city in Europe.
Wolfgang Puck
I grew up so poor in Austria that we never took a vacation with my family.
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 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.
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
I want to teach people how to do it the right way. And it is from that they can teach their children how to do it properly. It will teach them how to cook better and healthier at home.
Wolfgang Puck
To me, an airplane is a great place to diet.
Wolfgang Puck
For me, cooking is an expression of the land where you are and the culture of that place.
Wolfgang Puck
