I watch cooking change the cook, just as it transforms the food.

A women and her cooking on Sundays are an endless love affair.

I'm a terrific Mexican cook, and I just love Mexican food. And I love cooking Mexican food.

I'm not a cook. I like to watch the Food Network, but I don't like to cook.

But cooking is about emotion - if you want to please someone, you have to do it with your heart. It's a therapy. Right spices and right attitude matters! Careful shopping, fresh ingredients and an unhurried approach are nearly all you need. There is one more thing – love.

Progress makes us lose the feeling of a ceremony that cooking should have. It has significantly shifted our values so that now it seems to us that only activities with an economic reward are worth pursuing.
