Eating is so intimate. It's very sensual. When you invite someone to sit at your table and you want to cook for them, you're inviting a person into your life.

I find cooking very sensual. I love getting in there with my hands instead of utensils. With all of the textures and everything, it's very erotic. Also the time it takes to prepare, and the anticipation and the buildup, you know. Then finally, you get to eat.

I think eating in itself is the act of great sensuality, so all you have to do is point the camera in the right direction.

A delicious meal cooked by a colleague for many others nourishes not only the body but also the soul.

Eating is one of the great pleasures of life.

Meals make the society, hold the fabric together in lots of ways that were charming and interesting and intoxicating to me. The perfect meal, or the best meals, occur in a context that frequently has very little to do with the food itself.

For a dinner date, I eat light all day to save room, then I go all in: I choose this meal and this order, and I choose you, the person across from me, to share it with. There's a beautiful intimacy in a meal like that.

Sharing food with another human being is an intimate act that should not be indulged in lightly.

Eating is a necessity but a pleasure as well.

When I eat with my friends, it is a moment of real pleasure, when I really enjoy my life.
