People Liked To Eat Veal

In My Generation, Except For A Few People Who'd Gone Into Banking Or Nursing Or Something Like That, Middle-class Women Didn't Have Careers. You Were To Marry And Have Children And Be A Nice Mother. You Didn't Go Out And Do Anything. I Found That I Got Restless.

I Have Trouble With Toast. Toast Is Very Difficult. You Have To Watch It All The Time Or It Burns Up.

I Would Far Prefer To Have Things Happen As They Naturally Do, Such As The Mousse Refusing To Leave The Mold, The Potatoes Sticking To The Skillet, The Apple Charlotte Slowly Collapsing. One Of The Secrets Of Cooking Is To Learn To Correct Something If You Can, And Bear With It If You Cannot.

Sometimes ... It Takes Me An Entire Day To Write A Recipe, To Communicate It Correctly. It's Really Like Writing A Little Short Story.
