I Became A Cook So I Could

My First Book Is Really About Heat. That Book, For Me, Was An Exploration Of Heat As Ingredient. Why We Don't Talk About Heat As An Ingredient, I Don't Quite Understand, Because It Is The Common Ingredient To All Cooking Processes.

I Grill, Therefore I Am.

Your Patience Will Be Rewarded.

I Can’t Talk About Anything Or Write About Anything If I Don’t Understand It. So A Lot Of The Stuff That I Go Through And A Lot Of The Time That I Spend Is Understanding.

My Mantra Was To Educate People - To Actually Give Them The Know-how They Could Use - And To Do It In A Very Subversive Kind Of Way. I Would Entertain Them, And I Was Going To Teach Them Whether They Knew It Or Not.
