The Journey Of A Thousand Miles Begins

My Feeling Has Always Been That 'good Eats' Would Have Never Happened Had It Been Left To A Committee.

I Only Really Fake It Anymore With Sommeliers Who Are Being Really Snotty To Me And I Don't Want To Take Their Grief And So I Try To Do Something To Kind Of Throw Them Off Or Put Them On The Defensive, Even If I Don't Know What I'm Talking About

Your Patience Will Be Rewarded.

No Matter How Much Creativity Goes Into It, Cooking Is An Art. Or Perhaps I Should Say A Craft. It Abides By Absolute Rules, Physics, Chemistry, Etc. And That Means That Unless You Understand The Science You Cannot Reach The Art. We're Not Talking About Painting Here. Cooking's More Like Engineering. I Happen To Think That There Is Great Beauty In Great Engineering.

I Can’t Talk About Anything Or Write About Anything If I Don’t Understand It. So A Lot Of The Stuff That I Go Through And A Lot Of The Time That I Spend Is Understanding.
