“What my mother believed about cooking is that if you worked hard and prospered, someone else would do it for you.”
Nora Ephron
“My mother was a good recreational cook, but what she basically believed about cooking was that if you worked hard and prospered, someone else would do it for you.”
“Just good country cooking and hard work.”
Raymond Jones
“The qualities of an exceptional cook are akin to those of a successful tightrope walker: an abiding passion for the task, courage to go out on a limb and an impeccable sense of balance.”
Bryan Miller
“The cook was a good cook, as cooks go; and as cooks go she went”
H. H. Munro
“Noncooks think it's silly to invest two hours' work in two minutes' enjoyment; but if cooking is evanescent, so is the ballet.”
Julia Child
“A cookbook must have recipes, but it shouldn't be a blueprint. It should be more inspirational; it should be a guide.”
Thomas Keller
