__Emeril Lagasse
"Who could ever weary of moonlit nights and well-cooked rice?"
__Japanese proverb
"What I love about cooking is that after a hard day,
there is something comforting about the fact that
if you melt butter and add flour, then hot stock, it will get thick! It's a sure thing.
It's a sure thing in a world where nothing is sure!"
__Nora Ephron
"A good cook is like a sorceress who dispenses happiness."
__Elsa Schiaparelli
"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
"Cooking is a creation."
__Piero Selvaggio
"'Tis an ill cook that cannot lick his own fingers."
__William Shakespeare
I know this doesn't sound like it would be good,
but most folks seem to like it, especially Miz' Tate and her lady friends.
