One Of The Great Gifts

I Get Up Every Day, Do The Best That I Can Do, And Go Home And Have A Good Time.

I'm Really A Scientist. I Follow Recipes Exactly - Until I Decide Not To. And Then I'll Follow Something Else Exactly. I May Decide I Could Turn This Peach Tart Into A Plum Tart, But If I'm Following A Recipe, I Follow It Exactly.

I Think There Are Two Ways Of Eating, Or Cooking. One Is Restaurant Food And One Is Home Food. I Believe That People Have Started Making Food That Is Easy That You Want To Eat At Home. When You Go Out To A Restaurant, You Want To Be Challenged, You Want To Taste Something New, You Want To Be Excited. But When You Eat At Home, You Want Something That's Delicious And Comforting. I've Always Liked That Kind Of Food - And Frankly, That's Also What I Want To Eat When I Go Out To Restaurants, But Maybe That's Me.

With More And More Fast Food Available, It Takes An Extra Effort To Cook Delicious, Healthy Meals. I Have Always Been A Proponent Of Simple, Easy Food That Doesn't Take Forever To Cook So You Really Can Eat Well At Home.

I Think That I Had A Very Clear Vision When I Started Writing Cookbooks What I Wanted It To Be, And That You Would Open The Book, That You Would Look At The Photograph And Go, That Looks Delicious. And Then You Would Look At The Recipe And Say, I Can Actually Make That And I Can Make It With Ingredients I Can Find In The Grocery Store.
