And Don't Forget Music - Music In

It Wasn't About Mechanics; It Was About A Feeling, Wanting To Give Someone Something, Which In Turn Was Really Gratifying. That Really Resonated For Me.

This Is The Great Challenge: To Maintain Passion For The Everyday Routine And The Endlessly Repeated Act, To Derive Deep Gratification From The Mundane.

Repetition Is The Mother Of Perfection. If There Is True Perfection, It's About Doing Something Over And Over Again. I Truly Think That If Somebody Does A Recipe They've Never Done Before And Gets It Right, They're Probably More Lucky Than They Are Talented.

When You Acknowledge, As You Must, That There Is No Such Thing As Perfect Food, Only The Idea Of It, Then The Real Purpose Of Striving Toward Perfection Becomes Clear: To Make People Happy, That Is What Cooking Is All About.

I Wanted To Write About What We Were Doing At The French Laundry, The Recipes And The Stories.
