I will eat disgusting things, but only those with long established culinary traditions.

Food was a labor of love you felt by cooking it and eating it.

Let me start with a confession: I don't enjoy cooking. The reason I usually do it at home is not because I'm a New Man or Jamie Oliver disciple, but because my wife's cooking is so bad. In fact, to me, cooking is less a pleasurable pastime than a defense against poisoning.

My childhood wasn't full of wonderful culinary memories.

I guess I fell into cooking.

I had always been told cooking was a servant's job.

I love to cook, it's one of my most favorite things in the world. That's why I stopped being a vegetarian - I didn't want to serve people things I hadn't tasted myself.

I've cooked just about everything really.
