You think about some of the most memorable meals you've ever had; the food will be good but it will often be about locating a mental memory and taste is inexorably linked to all the other senses and memory, so ultimately it is all about taste.

I was once married to a woman who could eat anything and tell you what was in it: the most complicated recipes. Her memory of taste - now that's what I call memory!

Food is so heavily connected to memory.

Sometimes it's good to remember how bad food can be, so you can enjoy the concept of flavour to the fullest.

I tell everybody the same thing: You have to make every dish so when you taste it, you should remember it when you go home.

As a chef, if I can taste something, I can basically figure out what's in it.

The food that enters the mind must be watched as closely as the food that enters the body.

I have a good flavor memory.

Everyone has a different impression of what they are eating; not everyone tastes the same things, and definitely, not everyone has the same food memories.

I'm a serious eater and a seriously hungry person, so I set out on that path to figure it out for myself, and of course it really resonated with other people.
