Like The Theater, Offering Food And Hospitality

When I Walk Into A Market I May See A Different Cut Of Meat Or An Unusual Vegetable And Think, ‘i Wonder How It Would Be If I Took The Recipe For That Sauce I Had In Provence And Put The Two Together?’ So I Go Home And Try It Out. Sometimes My Idea Is A Success And Sometimes It Is A Flop, But That Is How Recipes Are Born. There Really Are Not Recipes, Only Millions Of Variations Sparked By Someone’s Imagination And Desire To Be A Little Creative And Different. American Cooking Is Built, After All, On Variations Of Old Recipes From Around The World.

If You Have Never Tasted A Braised Vegetable, You'll Find It Is A Revelation.

The Only Thing That Will Make A Souffle Fall Is If It Knows You're Afraid Of It.

Like The Theater, Offering Food And Hospitality To People Is A Matter Of Showmanship, And No Matter How Simple The Performance, Unless You Do It Well, With Love And Originality, You Have A Flop On Your Hands.

Be Simple. Be Honest. Don't Overcook And Don't Undercook, But It's Better To Undercook Than Overcook.
