I hope the cooks who are working for me now are getting that kind of experience so they can use what they're learning now as a foundation for a great career.

Very good cooks who are employed as 'chefs' rarely refer to themselves as 'chefs.' They refer to themselves as 'cooks.'

I respect anybody that cooks. I know how hard it is.

Everyone tries to compare cooks to rock stars. I see more comparisons to the fashion world.

Even if you don't think you can cook well, you can cook better than the food industry.

Many excellent cooks are spoilt by going into the arts.

You're getting to know who the great chefs are through their books.

I have real admiration for chefs who can maintain an edge and find new inspiration in their cooking after many years.

Writers are very much undervalued in the creative process.

Being a cook doesn't necessarily mean you are a competitor.
