I don't believe in twisting yourself into knots of excuses and explanations over the food you make.

It's so beautifully arranged on the plate - you know someone's fingers have been all over it.

An explanation of your cause could not justify your failure. You keep silent, re plan, re act and accomplish is the real and only way.”

Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. The you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.

The only real stumbling block is fear of failure. In cooking you've got to have a what-the-hell attitude.
