Wine Is Meant To Be With Food

Until I Discovered Cooking, I Was Never Really Interested In Anything.

In Department Stores, So Much Kitchen Equipment Is Bought Indiscriminately By People Who Just Come In For Men's Underwear.

I Believe In Red Meat. I Often Said: Red Meat And Gin.

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.

Sometimes ... It Takes Me An Entire Day To Write A Recipe, To Communicate It Correctly. It's Really Like Writing A Little Short Story.
