I'd Like For People To Be Able

I Don't Believe In Twisting Yourself Into Knots Of Excuses And Explanations Over The Food You Make.... Usually One's Cooking Is Better Than One Thinks It Is. And If The Food Is Truly Vile...then The Cook Must Simply Grit Her Teeth And Bear It With A Smile.

You Have To Do It And Do It, Until You Get It Right.

The More Experience You Have, The More Interesting Cooking Is Because You Know What Can Happen To The Food. In The Beginning You Can Look At A Chicken And It Doesn't Mean Much, But Once You Have Done Some Cooking You Can See In That Chicken A Parade Of Things You Will Be Able To Create.
