I Think Every Young Cook Wants To

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.

Repetition Is The Mother Of Perfection. If There Is True Perfection, It's About Doing Something Over And Over Again. I Truly Think That If Somebody Does A Recipe They've Never Done Before And Gets It Right, They're Probably More Lucky Than They Are Talented.

I Can Make Dough In A Machine Faster Than I Can Make It By Hand, But I Want To Make It By Hand, Because I Want To Remember The Way It Feels. It's So Important For Me To Make It By Hand - Whether It's A Pasta Dough Or A Pâte Brisée. You Become Involved In It. You Become Personal With It. For Me It's Such A Wonderful Way To Get Satisfaction And Gratification When I'm Cooking.

I Wanted To Learn Everything I Could About What It Takes To Be A Great Chef. It Was A Turning Point For Me.

You Have To Be Driven. You Have To Be Focused. You Have To Be Aware.
