「Food doesn't have to be complicated to be delicious.」「You don't have to use expensive ingredients to make good food. All you need to find are simple quality staples and to treat them with respect. So knowing what to look for is the first step on your way to a good meal.」「People always treat meat and expensive ingredients as the most luxurious foods, but someone who took the time to cook three different vegetables, a pot of beans, and pick a whole bunch of herbs and make this? That's like true decadence.」「For me, cooking has never been about the food. It's about what happens at the table. Making good food accessible is really important to me. And any little way that I can do that, from inviting a bunch of friends over for a simple meal ro making them help out in the kitchen when they arrive, just helps make it feel like good cooking is within reach for everyone. My ultimate goal is to make people feel comfortable and taken care of so that they can just enjoy the moment and maybe, eventually, pass that kindness on to others. Cooking for them, with them, just happens to be the easiest way I can do that. Anyone can learn to cook and do it well. Be thoughtful. Be curious. And use salt, fat, acid and heat to guide you to delicious food. And if for some reason a dish doesn't turn out well, it's okay. You can always try again tomorrow.」。
