There Is Nothing Better On A Cold

When She Goes About Her Kitchen Duties, Chopping, Carving, Mixing, Whisking, She Moves With The Grace And Precision Of A Ballet Dancer, Her Fingers Plying The Food With The Dexterity Of A Croupier.

Cooking Done With Care Is An Act Of Love.

Cooking Is At Once One Of The Simplest And Most Gratifying Of The Arts, But To Cook Well One Must Love And Respect Food.

Give Me A Platter Of Choice Finnan Haddie, Freshly Cooked In Its Bath Of Water And Milk, Add Melted Butter, A Slice Or Two Of Hot Toast, A Pot Of Steaming Darjeeling Tea, And You May Tell The Butler To Dispense With The Caviar, Truffles And Nightingales' Tongues.

Nothing Rekindles My Spirits, Gives Comfort To My Heart And Mind, More Than A Visit To Mississippi... And To Be Regaled As I Often Have Been, With A Platter Of Fried Chicken, Field Peas, Collard Greens, Fresh Corn On The Cob, Sliced Tomatoes With French Dressing... And To Top It All Off With A Wedge Of Freshly Baked Pecan Pie.
