My passion for writing cookbooks really came from my love of collecting cookbooks.
Wolfgang Puck
I want to help build their basic food terminology.
Wolfgang Puck
The usage of proper salt is really just a small piece of education. However, I want people to really get the proper nutrition from food for them and their family.
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.

America has undergone a total food and wine revolution.

Wolfgang Puck
Only you can judge your life. You have to live up to your own expectations.
Wolfgang Puck
A good chef has to be a manager, a businessman and a great cook. To marry all three together is sometimes difficult.
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
What I don't like is breakfast in the morning. I have a double-espresso cappuccino, but no food.
Wolfgang Puck
To me, an airplane is a great place to diet.
Wolfgang Puck

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
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
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
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
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
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.
