But Once In A While You Might

A Recipe Has No Soul. You, As The Cook, Must Bring Soul To The Recipe.

Cooking Is Not About Convenience And It's Not About Shortcuts. Our Hunger For The Twenty-minute Gourmet Meal, For One-pot Ease And Prewashed, Precut Ingredients Has Severed Our Lifeline To The Satisfactions Of Cooking. Take Your Time. Take A Long Time. Move Slowly And Deliberately And With Great Attention.

This Is The Great Challenge: To Maintain Passion For The Everyday Routine And The Endlessly Repeated Act, To Derive Deep Gratification From The Mundane.

It's Not About Perfection; It's About The Joy Of Striving.

Hopefully, Imparting What's Important To Me, Respect For The Food And That Information About The Purveyors, People Will Realize That For A Restaurant To Be Good, So Many Pieces Have To Come Together.
