My Palate Is Simpler Than It Used

Probably A Mistake, You Know, That People Make In America, To Think That All Great Chefs Are A Male... I'm Still The Only Male In The Family Who Went Into That Business.

When I Wrote 'fast Food My Way' In 2004, I Hoped That My Friends Would Prepare My Recipes. Now, More People Cook From That Book Than Any Other I've Written In The Past 30 Years.

When You Become A Good Cook, You Become A Good Craftsman, First. You Repeat And Repeat And Repeat Until Your Hands Know How To Move Without Thinking About It.

The Menus That Remain, For Me, Are Really The Menus That You Have With Your Good Friends, With Your Wife, With Your Mother, With Your Kids. These Are What Stay In Your Mind.

My Palate Is Simpler Than It Used To Be. A Young Chef Adds And Adds And Adds To The Plate. As You Get Older, You Start To Take Away.
