Cooking Quotes

I like women who can throw a ball and laugh loud and have some spine, and I like men who don't mind cooking dinner.
Paula Cole

Women, Men, Mind

Once you understand the foundations of cooking - whatever kind you like, whether it's French or Italian or Japanese - you really don't need a cookbook anymore.
Thomas Keller

Understand, Whatever, Once

If you salt a chicken the day before cooking, it starts to break down the cell structure of the meat and allows it to take on more flavor and actually helps it to stay more moist. Same goes for a steak, a pork chop. A lot of people brine; we preseason.
Michael Symon

Down, Before, Same

For me, cooking is an expression of the land where you are and the culture of that place.
Wolfgang Puck

Place, Culture, Expression

In a professional kitchen, the idea is to have your cooks not moving much while they're cooking. You want them to stay in the same spot.
Eric Ripert

Moving, Same, Idea

Eric Ripert

Anne Burrell

Food, Process, Taste

I reveled in the most basic rules and techniques that are the foundation of professional cooking. For example, it is essential to use a sharp knife: the sharper the knife, the more fluid and precise your work and the less likely you are to get hurt. Dull knives are a danger - they slip far more often.
Gail Simmons

Work, Hurt, Often

I can make things, but I don't cook them, exactly. Like salmon, I can stick that in a pan. Or the other day I made noodles, but they were hard. It never occurred to me to check them; I just stopped cooking them when I felt they were ready. Really, I'm too absentminded.
Paula Poundstone

Hard, Felt, Ready

I was born in the '60s and grew up in the '70s - not exactly the best decade for food in British history. It was horrendous. It was a time when, as a nation, we excelled in art and music and acting and photography and fashion - all creative skills... all apart from cooking.
Heston Blumenthal

Music, Time, Best

I like cooking, but I think someone else ought to do the dishes.
Jamaica Kincaid

Someone, Else, Ought

Sandra Lee

Food, Wanted, Show

When I was at the Cordon Bleu things took hours and hours and hours to make. And they were beautiful dishes - and I know how to cook that way - but I was like, 'no one is cooking like this.'
Sandra Lee

Beautiful, Took, Hours

Baking is how you start kids at cooking in the kitchen. It's fun whether it's baking bread or cookies. With baking, you have to be exact when it comes to ingredients.
Sandra Lee

Fun, Start, Kids

Basically, I go to the local farmer's market and decide to what to cook then, depending on what I find. Either my wife or I cook, and we usually finish a bottle or two of wine by the time we are done cooking and eating.
Jacques Pepin

Time, Wife, Done

I cooked at the White House for Easter, last year, with Michelle Obama. But it more had to do with cooking from the organic garden, and her message. I took my daughter and granddaughter there, and they were really charming, it was great.
Jacques Pepin

Great, Easter, Her

The idea of old was to conform yourself to a style of cooking, it was not to create a style of cooking. Now the chef is so much into 'I want to sign that dish and say I am the one who made that dish.'
Jacques Pepin

Yourself, Old, Idea

I taped my first series for PBS in 1982 at WJCT-TV in Jacksonville, Florida. The show, called 'Everyday Cooking with Jacques Pepin,' was about saving time and money in the kitchen - and it was a celebration of simple and unpretentious food.
Jacques Pepin

This June, I'll travel once again to the Food and Wine Magazine Classic in Aspen, Colorado. For many years, my dear friend Julia Child and I have teamed up to teach classes together at the event; for the past seven years, my daughter, Claudine, has been my cooking partner on stage.
Jacques Pepin

My sister would say I'm a feeder because I like cooking for people.
Tamara Ecclestone

Cooking for six people every day is like having a cafe.
Linda McCartney

My sisters like cooking at my place. It has a bit more room, and the food tastes a little bit better. A big pot of spaghetti and sauce, some warm French bread - works all the time. I think I've been eating pasta for 26 years.
Tom Brady

Time, Food, Big

I love being at home and cooking and baking.
Blake Lively

Love, Home, Baking

Olivia Thirlby

Love, Dad, Whatever

I grew up in France, my first language was French, and I tend to gravitate towards French cooking.
Robert Stack

Language, France, French

When I said a few weeks ago that our people would eat cooking oil and olives if necessary, I didn't mean that there really would be only oil and olives. What I meant was that our people have the necessary patience to endure the current difficult situation. Palestinians would rather do without certain food items than their national rights.
Ismail Haniyeh

Food, Patience, Mean

I have a Kenwood charcoal grill. In our house, if anybody is cooking, it's me. I love making burgers. I love making pork tenderloin. Lamb chops I do on the grill a lot. But you just can't beat brats.
Nick Offerman

Love, Making, House

Wolfgang Puck

Time, Good, Woman

Wolfgang Puck

Someone, Talk, Boxing

When I do a cooking class now, I tell people that the most important part is to read the recipe many times so you know what you're doing. What I don't tell them, though, is that sometimes I do parties where I'm rushing so much I don't have time to follow my own advice.
Wolfgang Puck
