"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."

in two minutes' enjoyment; but if cooking is evanescent,
so is the ballet. "
