Cooking Well Doesn't Mean Cooking

When I Got To France I Realized I Didn't Know Very Much About Food At All. I'd Never Had A Real Cake. I'd Had Those Cakes From Cake Mixes Or The Ones That Have A Lot Of Baking Powder In Them. A Really Good French Cake Doesn't Have Anything Like That In It - It's All Egg Power.

I Still Feel That French Cooking Is The Most Important In The World, One Of The Few That Has Rules. If You Follow The Rules, You Can Do Pretty Well.

The American Poultry Industry Had Made It Possible To Grow A Fine-looking Fryer In Record Time And Sell It At A Reasonable Price, But No One Mentioned That The Result Usually Tasted Like The Stuffing Inside Of A Teddy Bear.

How Can A Nation Be Called Great If Its Bread Tastes Like Kleenex?

Just Like Becoming An Expert In Wine, You Learn By Drinking It, The Best You Can Afford.
