There is nothing like roast chicken. It is helpful and agreeable, the perfect dish no matter what the circumstances. Elegant or homey, a dish for a dinner party or a family supper, it will not let you down.
From Laurie Colwin
The sharing of food is the basis of social life.
I myself am not particularly interested in restaurant cooking. I don't really want to learn how to make a napoleon. I'd much rather learn how to make a very good lemon cake, which you can make in your own home. I like plain, old-fashioned home food.
The thing about homebodies is that they can usually be found at home. I usually am, and I like to feed people.
No one who cooks, cooks alone. Even at her most solitary, a cook in the kitchen is surrounded by generations of cooks past, the advice and menus of cooks present, and the wisdom of cookbook writers.
It is my opinion that Norman Rockwell and his ilk have done more to make already anxious people feel guilty than anyone else.
