Cooking is like anything else: some people have an inborn talent for it. Some become expert by practicing, and some learn from books.
From Laurie Colwin
The best way to feel at ease in the kitchen is to learn at someone's knee.
Not everyone can write a book or paint a picture or write a symphony, but almost anyone can fall in love. There is something almost miraculous in that.
I love to eat out, but even more, I love to eat in.
Certainly, cooking for oneself reveals man at his weirdest.
When it comes to cakes and puddings, savouries, bread and tea cakes, the English cannot be surpassed.
Somehow or other, I always end up in a kitchen feeding a crowd.
Unlike some people who love to go out, I love to stay home.
As everyone knows, there is only one way to fry chicken correctly. Unfortunately, most people think their method is best, but most people are wrong. Mine is the only right way, and on this subject I feel almost evangelical.
I am not a fancy cook or an ambitious cook. I am a plain old cook.
