“To be a good cook you have to have a love of the good, a love of hard work, and a love of creating.”

“You don’t spring into good cooking naked. You have to have some training. You have to learn how to eat.”

“The more you know, the more you can create. There's no end to imagination in the kitchen.”

“If you don't pick your audience, you're lost because you're not really talking to anybody.”

“You don't have to cook fancy or complicated masterpieces - just good food from fresh ingredients.”

“The only real stumbling block is fear of failure. In cooking you've got to have a what-the-hell attitude.”

“You'll never know everything about anything, especially something you love.”
