Food is symbolic of love when words are inadequate.

Food is not rational. Food is culture, habit, craving and identity.
The only time to eat diet food is while you're waiting for the steak to cook.
One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.
Laughter is brightest in the place where the food is.
Life is too short for self-hatred and celery sticks.

Cooking is like love; it should be entered into with abandon or not at all.

After a good dinner, one can forgive anybody, even one's own relations.
Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are.
