Quote

The primary requisite for writing well about food is a good appetite. Without this, it is impossible to accumulate, within the allotted span, enough experience of eating to have anything worth setting down.

Writing about food is my default.

I need to be very hungry all the time. I need to be very hungry to write.

If the first requisite for writing well about food is a good appetite, the second is to put in your apprenticeship as a feeder when you have enough money to pay the check but not enough to produce indifference of the total.

I'm not a food critic, and I'm not really an authority to write anything on food.

People think that if you have a huge appetite, then you'll be better at it. But actually, it's how you confront the food that is brought to you. You have to be mentally and psychologically prepared.

The only think I like better than talking about Food is eating.

I wanted to write a food book, but I'm not a chef or an expert on culinary matters, to put it mildly.

I'm not a foodie - I'm an eater: I'm hungry.

You give the reader a sense of a full meal.
