A Wrong Planet Chef always take an interest in the origins of the food he cooks. A particular dish of vegetables, herbs and spices could, for instance, have begun life 5000 years ago on the Indian subcontinent, perhaps in Central India where vegetarian Hindi food is considered as God (Brahman) as it sustains the entire physical, mental, emotional and sensual aspects of the human being. The dish may then have migrated to the Punjab region of the Indian-Pakistan border - The Land of Five Waters - around 250 BC, and from here could have moved on to Western Asia or North Africa as soldiers and merchants moved west with their families into the Eastern parts of the Roman empire, where the cooks would have experimented with new combinations of food, adding fruits, shellfish or poultry to the exotic dish. The dish could then have travelled in any direction heading North through Germany or Sweden to Britain or maybe migrating through Persia or North Africa to Spain and Portugal, creating two very distinct and separate menus but meeting once again in France ~ Karl Wiggins
Chefs Cooking quotes by Karl Wiggins
Cooking is at once child's play and adult joy. And cooking done with care is an act of love. ~ Craig Claiborne
Chefs Cooking quotes by Craig Claiborne
I've sat in restaurants and viewed the food on the plate as I would a half-blooded mongrel. I may feel sorry for it and given time even get to like it a little, but it's never going to really gain my affections. The plate in front of you should tantalize, seduce and enchant you. It should be a cheeky devil, a minx, a hussy even, but never a desperado ~ Karl Wiggins
Chefs Cooking quotes by Karl Wiggins
There is such a thing as "live" cooking. Instead of chefs cooking in a kitchen and bringing a complete dish to the waiting customer... the chefs cook out on the floor where the customer can watch them perform.
Good performances heighten anticipation for the dish... and entertain the customer by showing them how contrasting ingredients come together.
"Wooow! Look at how many he's doing at once!"
"He's crazy fast!"
"Cool..."
Soma has put on a flamboyant show...
... to capture the hearts of his customers!
Not bad! Who would have thought he'd turn his own skills...
... into a performance to turn the situation around. ~ Yuto Tsukuda
Chefs Cooking quotes by Yuto Tsukuda
I'm fine, and my hips are fine. My false knee is fine. My false hips are fine. Everything's cooking. ~ Liza Minnelli
Chefs Cooking quotes by Liza Minnelli
Breakfast cereals that come in the same colors as polyester leisure suits make oversleeping a virtue. ~ Fran Lebowitz
Chefs Cooking quotes by Fran Lebowitz
I liked to screw around in the kitchen when I was a kid. But I started cooking when I was 15. ~ Michael Mina
Chefs Cooking quotes by Michael Mina
I decided to make spaghetti for lunch again. Not that I was the least bit hungry. But I couldn't just go on sitting on the sofa, waiting for the phone to ring. I had to move my body, to begin working toward some goal. I put water in a pot, turned on the gas, and until it boiled I would make tomato sauce while listening to an FM broadcast. The radio was playing an unaccompanied violin sonata by Bach. The performance itself was excellent, but there was something annoying about it. I didn't know whether this was the fault of the violinist or of my own present state of mind, but I turned off the music and went on cooking in silence. I heated the olive oil, put garlic in the pan, and added minced onions. When these began to brown, I added the tomatoes that I had chopped and strained. It was good to be cutting things and frying things like this. It gave me a sense of accomplishment that I could feel in my hands. I liked the sounds and the smells. ~ Haruki Murakami
Chefs Cooking quotes by Haruki Murakami
A critic looking at these tightly focused, targeted interventions might dismiss them as Band-Aid solutions. But that phrase should not be considered a term of disparagement. The Band-Aid is an inexpensive, convenient, and remarkably versatile solution to an astonishing array of problems. In their history, Band-Aids have probably allowed millions of people to keep working or playing tennis or cooking or walking when they would otherwise have had to stop. The Band-Aid solution is actually the best kind of solution because it involves solving a problem with the minimum amount of effort and time and cost. ~ Malcolm Gladwell
Chefs Cooking quotes by Malcolm Gladwell
Klamath was all about fishing and socializing and cooking and eating, and waking up the next day to start over again. ~ Kim Gordon
Chefs Cooking quotes by Kim Gordon
If you please, Mr. Haha, we'd like a quart of your finest whiskey."

His eyes tilt more. Would you believe it? Haha is smiling! Laughing, too. "Which one of you is a drinkin' man?"

"It's for making fruitcakes, Mr. Haha. Cooking. "

This sobers him. He frowns. "That's no way to waste good whiskey. ~ Truman Capote
Chefs Cooking quotes by Truman Capote
My love for cooking began when I was young. Because my parents were in the army, they were both really busy. A lot of times I'd have to cook for the family; I'd rotate with my siblings. It started out as a chore, but as I got older, my mom started to see that I was really good at it. I became her sous chef. ~ Tia Mowry
Chefs Cooking quotes by Tia Mowry
May your rice never burn,' is the New Year's greeting of the Chinese. 'May it never be gummy,' is ours. ~ Irma S. Rombauer
Chefs Cooking quotes by Irma S. Rombauer
After a day of writing, I love nothing more than to go into my kitchen and start chopping onions and garlic on the way to cooking an improvised meal with whatever ingredients are on hand. Cooking is the perfect counterpoint to writing. I find it more relaxing than anything else, even naps, walks, or hot baths. ~ Kate Christensen
Chefs Cooking quotes by Kate Christensen
I hate cooking. But I do make the candied yams every year at Thanksgiving. And they're awesome! You could definitely get diabetes and cavities from them, but they're delicious! ~ Marlon Wayans
Chefs Cooking quotes by Marlon Wayans
Not on morality, but on cookery, let us build our stronghold: there brandishing our frying-pan, as censer, let us offer sweet incense to the Devil, and live at ease on the fat things he has provided for his elect! ~ Thomas Carlyle
Chefs Cooking quotes by Thomas Carlyle
I can't do most things, if I'm honest, but cooking I definitely can't do. ~ Len Goodman
Chefs Cooking quotes by Len Goodman
The restorative effect of a tasty dinner is quite remarkable. When the going gets tough, the tough get cooking. ~ Roz Savage
Chefs Cooking quotes by Roz Savage
Just drop some onion and garlic in olive oil, and your day improves exponentially. ~ Jen Hatmaker
Chefs Cooking quotes by Jen Hatmaker
What most people don't get about professional-level cooking is that it is not all about the best recipe, the most innovative presentation, the most creative marriage of ingredients, flavours and textures; that, presumably, was all arranged long before you sat down to dinner. Line cooking - the real business of preparing the food you eat - is more about consistency, about mindless, unvarying repetition, the same series of tasks performed over and over and over again in exactly the same way. ~ Anthony Bourdain
Chefs Cooking quotes by Anthony Bourdain
Ever since I read 'Kitchen Confidential,' I saw a little light bulb go off. Being a chef is like being on a pirate ship; it's not like 'Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe?' or whatever my impression was as I was growing up. ~ Jon Favreau
Chefs Cooking quotes by Jon Favreau
Cooking is the best way to unwind at the end of a long writing day. There's something mindless and hands-on about cooking, which makes it feel like the very opposite of writing, which is heady but inactive. ~ Lauren Kate
Chefs Cooking quotes by Lauren Kate
Chefs who cook in these ivory towers are in control in their own world. We try to approximate that world as best we can, but ultimately our goal is to please our clients. ~ David Castle
Chefs Cooking quotes by David Castle
To the old saying that man built the house but woman made of it a 'home' might be added the modern supplement that woman accepted cooking as a chore but man has made of it a recreation. ~ Emily Post
Chefs Cooking quotes by Emily Post
When I cook with my son, I might chop vegetables and have fun with different shapes. Cooking is a way to teach kids about other things, like reading or math with all of the weights and measures. There are so many things that are part of cooking that are also very educational. ~ Emeril Lagasse
Chefs Cooking quotes by Emeril Lagasse
There are things you do because they feel right and they may make no sense and they may make no money and it may be the real reason we are here: to love each other and to eat each other's cooking and say it was good. ~ Brian Andreas
Chefs Cooking quotes by Brian Andreas
There are people who claim to be instinctive cooks, who never follow recipes or weigh anything at all. All I can say is they're not very fussy about what they eat. For me, cooking is an exact art and not some casual game. ~ Delia Smith
Chefs Cooking quotes by Delia Smith
Having a sous-chef with excellent cooking skills and a criminal mind is one of God's great gifts. ~ Anthony Bourdain
Chefs Cooking quotes by Anthony Bourdain
You probably don't think twice about going into your kitchen and turning a few knobs to prepare a meal for yourself and your family on an electric or gas range. But for nearly 3 billion people in developing countries who depend on solid fuels to cook their food, the simple act of cooking results in 4 million premature deaths every year from exposure to toxic smoke. ~ Kathy Calvin
Chefs Cooking quotes by Kathy Calvin
Seating themselves on the greensward, they eat while the corks fly and there is talk, laughter and merriment, and perfect freedom, for the universe is their drawing room and the sun their lamp. Besides, they have appetite, Nature's special gift, which lends to such a meal a vivacity unknown indoors, however beautiful the surroundings. ~ Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
Chefs Cooking quotes by Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
Liz looks at the tissue box, which is decorated with drawings of snowmen engaged in various holiday activities. One of the snowmen is happily placing a smiling rack of gingerbread men in an oven. Baking gingerbread men, or any cooking for that matter, is probably close to suicide for a snowman, Liz thinks. Why would a snowman voluntarily engage in an activity that would in all likelihood melt him? Can snowmen even eat? Liz glares at the box. ~ Gabrielle Zevin
Chefs Cooking quotes by Gabrielle Zevin
The thing about cooking is it's so interesting to watch. I don't know why, but if you go to somebody's house and they're making something, they usually say interesting things while they're cooking. ~ Christopher Walken
Chefs Cooking quotes by Christopher Walken
It takes a little time, but the pleasures of cooking begin before the pleasures of the palate, and preparing means anticipating ... ~ Umberto Eco
Chefs Cooking quotes by Umberto Eco
It turned out that salt was a microcosm for one of the oldest concepts of nature and the order of the universe. From the fourth-century-B.C. Chinese belief in the forces of yin and yang, to most of the world's religions, to modern science, to the basic principles of cooking, there has always been a belief that two opposing forces find completion - one receiving a missing part and the other shedding an extra one. A salt is a small but perfect thing. ~ Mark Kurlansky
Chefs Cooking quotes by Mark Kurlansky
I've swallowed fish-eyes whole
like an endoscope.
I once ate a trout cooked inside a dolphin.
Felt like a shark eating another shark,
inside the cold-blooded womb of yet another shark. ~ Yann Rousselot
Chefs Cooking quotes by Yann Rousselot
I got into cooking out of self-defense. ~ Mark Bittman
Chefs Cooking quotes by Mark Bittman
The Sentinel of Rain
I am a creature who cooks on roofs,
sleeps on roofs, livess on roofs.
The unenlightened call me homeless;
my inner circle know me as 'The Sentinel of Rain'.
I know all there is to know about roofs:
copper roofing, itchy;
aluminium sheeting, noisy;
precast concrete; dusty;
ceramic tiles; slippery.
I haven't had the pleasure of crashing
on banana leave or straw roofs
but I imagine them to be quite comfy,
though pitched a bit steep to saunter about,
and as for cooking dinner on, fuhgeddaboudit!
Those roofs are as flammable as a cellulose nitrate
print of The Blue Angel.
Thank God I wasn't born in Southeast Asia or in the backward
English countryside with their thatch roof cottages.
It's good to be homeless in America.
There are so many roof choices,
the streets are virtually paved with dumpsters,
stocked to the gills like the shelves of Walmart,
and when it rains ~ and I'm the first to know,
there's never an overpass too far
to shelter me from nature's whims. ~ Beryl Dov
Chefs Cooking quotes by Beryl Dov
I let myself relax into the pattern of the recipe. ~ Jael McHenry
Chefs Cooking quotes by Jael McHenry
Chefs are nutters. They're all self-obsessed, delicate, dainty, insecure little souls and absolute psychopaths. Every last one of them. ~ Gordon Ramsay
Chefs Cooking quotes by Gordon Ramsay
Lilith returned to her cooking. She didn't let herself think about anything but preparing the food, one ingredient at a time, a pinch of this into a bowl of that, a vial of this into a jug of that, and so it went, while the sweat ran off her in rivulets and her hair and dress clung to her, and the kitchen hummed with the droning of flies. ~ Georgina Anne Taylor
Chefs Cooking quotes by Georgina Anne Taylor
I like racing but food and pictures are more thrilling. I can't give them up. In racing you can be certain, to the last thousandth of a second, that someone is the best, but with a film or a recipe, there is no way of knowing how all the ingredients will work out in the end. The best can turn out to be awful and the worst can be fantastic. Cooking is like performing and performing like cooking. ~ Paul Newman
Chefs Cooking quotes by Paul Newman
...As the evening wore on (the supper did not end until seven in the morning), the public were admitted to watch the festivities from the balustrade, and were offered biscuits and refreshments to keep them going through the night.
...One of the lawyers was so upset by the evening that he got up to leave, proclaiming: 'They will send you to the madhouse and strike you from the list of members of the Bar.' Grimod responded by locking the doors to the apartment and preventing any further guests from leaving. Coffee and liquers were taken in an adjoining room lit by 130 candles while the guests were entertained by a magic-lantern show and some experiments with electricity performed by the Italian physicist Castanio. M Rival tells us that many of the guests fell asleep. ~ Giles MacDonogh
