Cooking Is One Failure After Another, And

When I Got To France I Realized I Didn't Know Very Much About Food At All. I'd Never Had A Real Cake. I'd Had Those Cakes From Cake Mixes Or The Ones That Have A Lot Of Baking Powder In Them. A Really Good French Cake Doesn't Have Anything Like That In It - It's All Egg Power.

Too Much Trouble,' 'too Expensive,' Or 'who Will Know The Difference' Are Death Knells For Good Food. ... Cooking Is Not A Particularly Difficult Art, And The More You Cook And Learn About Cooking, The More Sense It Makes.

A House Without A Cat Is Like A Day Without Sunshine, A Pie Without Fromage, A Dinner Without Wine.

I Always Try To Buy Just What I Need. You Get Ideas As To What's In Season And What's Best. I Think If You Have A Preconceived Idea Before Shopping, That Makes It Difficult. You Have To Have An Open Mind.

A Cookbook Is Only As Good As Its Poorest Recipe.
