No Matter What Happens In The Kitchen,

The Tomato Hides Its Griefs. Internal Damage Is Hard To Spot.

You Don’t Spring Into Good Cooking Naked. You Have To Have Some Training. You Have To Learn How To Eat.

I Found That The Recipes In Most - In All - The Books I Had Were Really Not Adequate. They Didn't Tell You Enough... I Won't Do Anything Unless I'm Told Why I'm Doing It. So I Felt That We Needed Fuller Explanations So That If You Followed One Of Those Recipes, It Should Turn Out Exactly Right.

If You're Buying Tomatoes Pick Them Up And Smell Them-they Should Have A Lovely Perfume. They Need To Be Kept At Fifty Degrees Or Above, Particularly During The Growing Season, Because That's When They Develop Their Flavor.

Cooking Is One Failure After Another, And That's How You Finally Learn.
