Food Is So Heavily Connected To Memory.

The Best Way To Learn To Cook Is To Do Some Serious Eating.

The Hardest Thing About Being A Full Time Chef Is Leaving My Work Behind When I Go Home At Night. I'll Toss And Turn About A Menu Item Or Forget To Order Produce And Wake Up At 4 A.m. In A Cold Sweat Over Some Artichokes.

Give Yourself Enough Time To Really Learn How To Cook.
