A Cookbook Must Have Recipes, But It

I Didnt Want To Be Encumbered By What Anyone Elses Abilities Were, Their Equipment Or Environment Or Their Ability To Get Certain Products.

It Wasn't About Mechanics; It Was About A Feeling, Wanting To Give Someone Something, Which In Turn Was Really Gratifying. That Really Resonated For Me.

A Recipe Has No Soul. You, As The Cook, Must Bring Soul To The Recipe.

Cooking Is Not About Convenience And It's Not About Shortcuts. Our Hunger For The Twenty-minute Gourmet Meal, For One-pot Ease And Prewashed, Precut Ingredients Has Severed Our Lifeline To The Satisfactions Of Cooking. Take Your Time. Take A Long Time. Move Slowly And Deliberately And With Great Attention.

For Me, Thats One Of The Important Things About Cooking. What Was Good Enough Yesterday May Not Be Good Enough Today.
