I Tell Everybody The Same Thing: You

I Like To Be Firm. But It Is Easier To Be Nice Than To Be Nasty.

I Think It's Really Important To Keep On Staying Motivated.

For Me, Cooking Is An Expression Of The Land Where You Are And The Culture Of That Place.

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.

Young People Want To Be Famous Before They Know How To Cook, Before They Know How To Treat People, Before They Know What Hospitality Means. I Stayed In France For Seven Years And Austria For Three, So Before I Was A Chef Anywhere I Was Already Cooking For 10 Years.
