This Is My Invariable Advice To People:

People Were Hysterical About Communism The Way People Today Are Hysterical About Flag Burning. I'm Really Against These People Who Try To Show That They're Great Patriots, Because They're Not Thinking, They're Just Being Hysterical.

Just Like Becoming An Expert In Wine–you Learn By Drinking It, The Best You Can Afford–you Learn About Great Food By Finding The Best There Is, Whether Simply Or Luxurious. The You Savor It, Analyze It, And Discuss It With Your Companions, And You Compare It With Other Experiences.

You Must Have Discipline To Have Fun.

I Love To Teach - That's My Role.

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.
