People are so used to eating terrible pancakes, no matter how you mess up, they're going to be great. And if you make fresh orange juice, they'll be over the moon.
From Ruth Reichl
I like to work. I believe that work helps us find our self worth.
In really good times, you say, 'No, I'm not taking that ad.' But in bad times, you'll take anything.
If you start with a great peach, there's nothing you're ever going to do that's going to make it any better than when it comes off the tree. In 1970, that was a revolution.
It was through cooking food and sharing it with each other that our ancestors learned how to become social animals.
My mother started out by being a very good girl. She did everything that was expected of her, and it cost her dearly. Late in her life, she was furious that she had not followed her own heart; she thought that it had ruined her life, and I think she was right.
I don't have my own garden; we're on shale and in the woods. And if I did have a garden, the deer and chipmunks and squirrels and bears would eat everything anyway.
I like poached eggs, but I'll make scrambled or fried or whatever anybody wants.
My mother really would make these dreadful concoctions. She really prided herself on something called 'Everything Stew,' where she would take everything in the refrigerator, all the leftovers, and put them all together.
Writing about food is my default.
