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'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
Prep things in advance so that you don't have to cook everything at the last moment.
Wolfgang Puck
I fell in love with food because of my mother. So, I will definitely be sharing and expanding more recipes from my culture (as well as many other cultures), and will be sharing recipes that I have experienced from my whole culinary life.
Wolfgang Puck
When I was 27, if I didn't put 15 things in one dish I wasn't happy.
Wolfgang Puck
The most important thing for me is to really buy the best ingredient.
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
My passion for writing cookbooks really came from my love of collecting cookbooks.
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
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
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
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
It's easier being a judge than a competitor. As a judge, you don't have any risks. That makes it much more enjoyable.
Wolfgang Puck
I love strong flavors too. Like I don't mind if it looks clean and clear and you know what you are eating if it has Italian, Chinese or Japanese flavor I love them all.
Wolfgang Puck
I want to help build their basic food terminology.
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
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
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
It is going to have healthy food and exercise mixed together. With smaller portions, and more exercise, you live a better life.
Wolfgang Puck
The only way to teach people how to truly do it and do it the right way, is to get those ingredients and kitchen tools in front of them and in their hands to use.
Wolfgang Puck
There is no value with just one restaurant or with one person. The brand has to be bigger than the person.
