I Would Happily Die With A Bottle

To Be A Good Cook You Have To Have A Love Of The Good, A Love Of Hard Work, And A Love Of Creating.

I Was 32 When I Started Cooking; Up Until Then, I Just Ate.

I Had My First French Meal And I Never Got Over It. It Was Just Marvelous. We Had Oysters And A Lovely Dry White Wine. And Then We Had One Of Those Lovely Scalloped Dishes And The Lovely, Creamery Buttery Sauce. Then We Had A Roast Duck And I Don't Know What Else.

I Don't Think About Whether People Will Remember Me Or Not. I've Been An Ok Person. I've Learned A Lot. I've Taught People A Thing Or Two. That's What's Important.

In My Generation, Except For A Few People Who'd Gone Into Banking Or Nursing Or Something Like That, Middle-class Women Didn't Have Careers. You Were To Marry And Have Children And Be A Nice Mother. You Didn't Go Out And Do Anything. I Found That I Got Restless.
