It's one thing you aspire to: someday, you'll be able to write a book.

I think every young cook wants to write a book.

Some of the recipes in the book have evolved for us. Many haven't.

If it's one thing we learned from the first book, it's that you don't have to be a prizefighter, or a world-renowned architect, or a concert violinist to have been affected by the power of words.

A cookbook must have recipes, but it shouldn't be a blueprint. It should be more inspirational; it should be a guide.

Beware of the person of one book.
