I Don't Think You Could Have A

I Think That You’ve Got To Make Something That Pleases You And Hope That Other People Feel The Same Way.

Its Not About Passion. Passion Is Something That We Tend To Overemphasize, That We Certainly Place Too Much Importance On. Passion Ebbs And Flows. To Me, It's About Desire. If You Have Constant, Unwavering Desire To Be A Cook, Then U'll Be A Great Cook.

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.

A Cookbook Must Have Recipes, But It Shouldn't Be A Blueprint. It Should Be More Inspirational; It Should Be A Guide.

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