Just How Could A Nation Often Be

This Is My Invariable Advice To People: Learn How To Cook- Try New Recipes, Learn From Your Mistakes, Be Fearless, And Above All Have Fun!

Everything Can Have Drama If It's Done Right. Even A Pancake.

I Don't Believe In Twisting Yourself Into Knots Of Excuses And Explanations Over The Food You Make.... Usually One's Cooking Is Better Than One Thinks It Is. And If The Food Is Truly Vile...then The Cook Must Simply Grit Her Teeth And Bear It With A Smile.

Be A Fearless Cook! Try Out New Ideas And New Recipes, But Always Buy The Freshest And Finest Ingredients, Whatever They May Be. Furnish Your Kitchen With The Most Solid And Workmanlike Equipment You Can Find. Keep Your Knives Ever Sharp And - Toujours Bon Appetit!

I'm Afraid That Surprise, Shock, And Regret Is The Fate Of Authors When They Finally See Themselves On The Page.
