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

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.

It's Not About Perfection; It's About The Joy Of Striving.

In Any Restaurant Of This Caliber, The Chefs Are In The Same Position, Building Relationships.

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.
