I think the time of the formal dinners is over.
Wolfgang Puck
Image
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
Image
One thing I always say is being a great chef today is not enough - you have to be a great businessman.
Wolfgang Puck
Image
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
Image
I used to write cookbooks. It was passion to try to bring healthy and fun recipes to people's homes. It was a way to bring my home to theirs.
Wolfgang Puck
Image
My passion for writing cookbooks really came from my love of collecting cookbooks.

Image
I learn more from the one restaurant that didn't work than from all the ones that were successes.

Image
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
Image
A good chef has to be a manager, a businessman and a great cook. To marry all three together is sometimes difficult.
Wolfgang Puck
Image
A chef is a mixture maybe of artistry and craft. You have to learn the craft really to get there.

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.

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.

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.

The food could taste amazing however, if you present a plate of misfortunate looking food...you would really question yourself about whether or not you should eat it.

America has undergone a total food and wine revolution.

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.

You can eat an omelet at midnight, at lunchtime, all day long. It's perfect for every occasion.
Wolfgang Puck
Image
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.

I want to help build their basic food terminology.
