A Party Without Cake Is Really Just

Drama Is Very Important In Life: You Have To Come On With A Bang. You Never Want To Go Out With A Whimper. Everything Can Have Drama If It's Done Right. Even A Pancake.

In France Cooking Is A Serious Art Form And A National Sport. I Think The French Enjoy The Complication Of The Art Form And The Cooking For Cooking's Sake. You Can Talk With A Concierge Or Police Officer About Food In France As A General Rule. It Is Not The General Rule Here. Classical Cuisine, Which I Hope We Are Going Back To, Means Certain Ways Of Doing Things And Certain Ways Of Not Doing Things. If You Know Classical French Cooking You Can Do Anything. If You Don't Know The Basics, You Turn Out Slop.

If You're Afraid Of Butter, Use Cream.

We Should Enjoy Food And Have Fun. It Is One Of The Simplest And Nicest Pleasures In Life.

You Don't Have To Cook Fancy Or Complicated Masterpieces - Just Good Food From Fresh Ingredients.
