I had the archetypal French bucolic upbringing, in a peasant village in deepest Burgundy.

When you cook it should be an act of love. To put a frozen bag in the microwave for your child is an act of hate.

As a child, I gained the deepest understanding of food, without even knowing it.

I've never been able to contemplate failure. Success is everything.

I like Sicilian food. It's real peasant food.

I am very satisfied that the French team can once again count on Zinedine Zidane and Claude Makelele ... very talented players who play at the highest level for their clubs.
