The idea of old was to conform yourself to a style of cooking, it was not to create a style of cooking. Now the chef is so much into 'I want to sign that dish and say I am the one who made that dish.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Old is authentic. Old is genuine. Old is valuable.
I could cook from quite an early age - purely because I liked it.
There's a vintage which comes with age and experience.
I started cooking when I was 18 years old, and now I have restaurants all over the world.
I don't like the way young people write and talk about the old. I don't like their attitude, which, if they weren't young and therefore bright and vibrant, would be called outdated.
Old age is a shipwreck.
I'm not old-fashioned.
I am not a fancy cook or an ambitious cook. I am a plain old cook.
To be old is to be part of a huge and ordinary multitude... the reason why old age was venerated in the past was because it was extraordinary.
Old age is just a record of one's whole life.
