I don't have a dishwasher, and I hate washing dishes.

I don't like when people put their dishes in the dishwasher without scrubbing them properly because it comes out with those little white dots and then you can't get those out. And you have to rewash them.

If there's something dangerous, sauces are dangerous for the body.

I got rid of all of my non-stick pots and pans, anything that had a kind of toxic surface in terms of cooking.

As a chef, I could not wash my hands - nor clean pots, pans, utensils, meats or produce, nor make soups and sauces - if I did not have clean water. Were this to happen, of course, these would be the least of my concerns. Because water is the linchpin of survival: without it, not much else matters.

I was a dishwasher at one of those Japanese places that cook on your table. Not too fun.

Things are fluid in this world, and if you don't remain fluid, you get lost in the sauce.

When I'm stirring a saucepan, I don't say to myself, 'Now the chancellor is stirring a saucepan.'

I have to admit that I'm one of those people that thinks the dishwasher is a miracle.

Cooking can be rewarding when it is a choice and no longer the onerous duty of the housewife, and when a dishwasher can lighten the load at the other end of the process.
