Believe Me, A Grain Is A Terrible

You Know Most Of The Food That Americans Hold So Dear - Things Like Hamburgers And Hot Dogs - Were Road Food, But Even Before They Were Road Food, They Were Peasant Food.

I Think A Lot Of Food Shows, Especially When We Started 'good Eats' Back In The Late '90s, They Were Still Really About Food. 'good Eats' Isn't About Food, It's About Entertainment. If, However, We Can Virally Infect You With Knowledge Or Interest, Then All The Better.

The Stubby French Painter Toulouse-lautrec Supposedly Invented Chocolate Mousse - I Find That Rather Hard To Believe, But There You Have It.

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 Approach Cooking From A Science Angle Because I Need To Understand How Things Work. If I Understand The Egg, I Can Scramble It Better. It's A Simple As That.
