People Have More Fun If They Don't

They Say That Gardens Look Better When They Are Created By Loving Gardeners Rather Than By Landscapers, Because The Garden Is More Tended To And Cared For. The Same Thing Goes For Cooking. I Only Cook For People I Love.

When I Wrote 'barefoot In Paris,' I Wanted To Make Simple Recipes That You Could Make At Home That Tasted Like French Classics.

You Can Be Miserable Before You Have A Cookie And You Can Be Miserable After You Eat A Cookie But You Can't Be Miserable While You Are Eating A Cookie.

I Think That I Had A Very Clear Vision When I Started Writing Cookbooks What I Wanted It To Be, And That You Would Open The Book, That You Would Look At The Photograph And Go, That Looks Delicious. And Then You Would Look At The Recipe And Say, I Can Actually Make That And I Can Make It With Ingredients I Can Find In The Grocery Store.

One Of The Great Gifts That You Can Give People Is To Cook For Them.
