Cooking is an art form, a creative thing.

I love to cook, and I've just gotten more and more into it over the years, just because it's the best way to stay creative.

As I grew steadily more comfortable in the kitchen, I found that, much like gardening, most cooking manages to be agreeably absorbing without being too demanding intellectually. It leaves plenty of mental space for daydreaming and reflection.

I'm a freak of neat. The kitchen has to be clean.

Usually, one's cooking is better than one thinks it is.

I find cooking very therapeutic. As a creative person, I relish cooking because it's such a creative process. You can cook anything out of anything.

As chefs, especially pastry chefs, your creativity plays such an important part in your daily work. We truly do have a blank canvas to work with every time we create a new dish.

The wisest advice I ever received regarding the kitchen came from my mother: 'Do the dishes while you're cooking.'

Kitchens are for conversation. They're not just for cooking; they're for conversations.

I'm a very improvisational cook. I sort of like to make things up as I go along. I'm quite creative in the kitchen.
