The Art of Cooking
“Happy and successful cooking doesn’t rely only on know-how; it comes from the heart, makes great demands on the palate and needs enthusiasm and a deep love of food to bring it to life.”
-Georges Blanc, from ‘Ma Cuisine des Saisons’
“The art of cooking is among the most intimate things that we can do for another.”
-Charlie Trotter
“When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece.”
-John Ruskin
“Cooking is at once child’s play and adult joy.
And cooking done with care is an act of love.”
-Craig Claiborne
“Cooking is an art and patience a virtue… Careful shopping, fresh ingredients and an unhurried approach are nearly all you need. There is one more thing- love. Love for food and love for those you invite to your table. With a combination of these things you can be an artist- not perhaps in the representational style of a Dutch master, but rather more like Gauguin, the naïve, or Van Gogh, the impressionist. Plates or pictures of sunshine taste of happiness and love.”
-Keith Floyd, from “A Feast of Floyd”
