Wine Is Meant To Be With Food

I Was A Republican Until I Got To New York And Had To Live On $18 A Week. It Was Then That I Became A Democrat.

I'd Like For People To Be Able To Go To The Universities And Get A Degree In Fine Arts-gastronomy.

In The 1970s We Got Nouvelle Cuisine, In Which A Lot Of The Old Rules Were Kicked Over. And Then We Had Cuisine Minceur, Which People Mixed Up With Nouvelle Cuisine But Was Actually Fancy Diet Cooking.

Never Apologize For Your Cooking.

In France Cooking Is A Serious Art Form And A National Sport. I Think The French Enjoy The Complication Of The Art Form And The Cooking For Cooking's Sake. You Can Talk With A Concierge Or Police Officer About Food In France As A General Rule. It Is Not The General Rule Here. Classical Cuisine, Which I Hope We Are Going Back To, Means Certain Ways Of Doing Things And Certain Ways Of Not Doing Things. If You Know Classical French Cooking You Can Do Anything. If You Don't Know The Basics, You Turn Out Slop.
