It is important to experiment and endlessly seek after creating the best possible flavors when preparing foods. That means not being afraid to experiment with various ingredients.

Chefs are artists, and I couldn't be happy with my art if I was forced to use cheap ingredients.

There is so much to be gained from investing more time in what we eat. Buying fresh ingredients means knowing where your food comes from and what's in it.

It's a challenge to demonstrate that you can prepare some really interesting food with humble ingredients.

I believe in using fresh, high quality from-the-earth ingredients and cooking methods that protect the natural goodness and nutrients of foods, while always maximizing flavor and taste.

If you're trying to create a company, it's like baking a cake. You have to have all the ingredients in the right proportion.

I like to cook with the philosophy of using great ingredients and not altering them too much.

Keep it simple in the kitchen. If you use quality ingredients, you don't need anything fancy to make food delicious: just a knife, a cutting board, and some good nonstick cookware, and you're set.

The first time you make something, follow the recipe, then figure out how to tailor it to your own tastes.

Organize yourself so you aren't struggling to shop at the last minute. When you have real food, it's very easy to cook.
