We Go Through Our Careers

I Can Make Dough In A Machine Faster Than I Can Make It By Hand, But I Want To Make It By Hand, Because I Want To Remember The Way It Feels. It's So Important For Me To Make It By Hand - Whether It's A Pasta Dough Or A Pâte Brisée. You Become Involved In It. You Become Personal With It. For Me It's Such A Wonderful Way To Get Satisfaction And Gratification When I'm Cooking.

Food Is Such An Important Part Of Our Lives, And Sometimes We Tend To Diminish The Importance Of That, Because We Rely On Conveniences Or Because Our Lives Are So Complicated. We Forget About Those Moments That We Can Actually Share Around The Table With Our Family, With Our Friends, With Our Loved Ones.

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

Hopefully, Imparting What's Important To Me, Respect For The Food And That Information About The Purveyors, People Will Realize That For A Restaurant To Be Good, So Many Pieces Have To Come Together.

Historically In Restaurants, The Service Staff Is Awarded Significantly Higher Wages Than Cooks And Other Staff Who Prepare The Food On Which A Restaurant's Reputation Is Based. The Gap In Pay Is So Great That It Is Becoming Increasingly Difficult For Young Cooks To Pursue Their Passion At The Rate Of Pay Restaurants Are Able To Afford.
