My Feeling Has Always Been That 'good

I Had Kicked Around The Idea For Good Eats When I Was Directing Commercials.

I Think In The End There Are Only 20 Or 30 Tenets Of Basic Cooking. It's Going At Perhaps The Same Issue From Different Angles, From Different Points Of View, From Different Presentation Styles, That Really Makes Things Sink In And Become Embedded.

What Happens Is That In Each Clump You've Got The Gelatinization Of Starches, Which Happens Very Quickly At The Surface Of The Clump And It Kind Of Forms A Protective Skin Around This Dry Hunk Of Flour.

I Have Nothing But Sympathy For The People Who Are Forced To Work With Me. I'm Better Now At Picking Out Those That Want To Play That Game With Me, And Those That Don't.

My Feeling Has Always Been That 'good Eats' Would Have Never Happened Had It Been Left To A Committee.
