The Secret Of Good Cooking Is, First,

It's Foolish To Go Through Life Bemoaning The Fact That You Can't Have This Or That. Twaddle! You Can Omit Certain Foods And Still Enjoy Eating.

I Am Still Convinced That A Good, Simple, Homemade Cookie Is Preferable To All The Store-bought Cookies One Can Find.

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

There Is Absolutely No Substitute For The Best. Good Food Cannot Be Made Of Inferior Ingredients Masked With High Flavor. It Is True Thrift To Use The Best Ingredients Available And To Waste Nothing.
