"If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world."

"In our opinion food should be sniffed lustily at the table, both as a matter of precaution and as a matter of enjoyment, the sniffing of it to be regarded in the same light as the tasting of it."

"Young people/children have an inherent honesty and respect for what is good in food. But as they get older, from 18 to 25 years old, they tend to over think things…which is the most dangerous thing you can do as a chef. Young chefs try too hard to impress and constantly want their food to be exciting, but that doesn’t mean it’s any good. Too often they get lost in the method and end up overcomplicating things. Doing a simple thing well and perfectly is what great cooking is all about."
Joël Robuchon, quite possibly the greatest chef of this century.
