Most cooks try to learn by making dishes. Doesn't mean you can cook. It means you can make that dish. When you can cook is when you can go to a farmers market, buy a bunch of stuff, then go home and make something without looking at a recipe. Now you're cooking.

I love to cook. My mom taught me to cook at a very, very young age.

You learn to cook so that you don't have to be a slave to recipes. You get what's in season and you know what to do with it.

I can cook; but not well. I figure I have six years until my children discover what their friends' mothers make for dinner.

My reasons for becoming a chef are somewhat of a cliche. I always loved to eat but it was watching my parents cook that really served as the impetus for my career choice.

I find cooking very therapeutic. As a creative person, I relish cooking because it's such a creative process. You can cook anything out of anything.

I could lie and say my wife cooks for me, but she doesn't. My wife has never learnt cooking but she has great cooks at home.

I love to cook. I could never give that up.

I cook. I did the Escoffier course in Paris when I was 21 in one of those periods when it was like a pause. I can cook anything Italian, Chinese.

For me, cooking is an expression of the land where you are and the culture of that place.
