Quote by Fiona Wright

“Hunger forces a kind of refusal, a brutal, impenetrable independence, leaves us quite literally unable to break bread and connect with the people in our orbit; I realise now that this is how I’ve lived most of my adult life.”

“For me, food wasn't a competition about who could make the best dish. It's greatest power was to make taste and turn it into a long lasting memory. As a girl, I had learned from my father that good food could be a vessel, a way to show love, even when you might not have the words to say so. I could feel it in my soul that this was exactly what I was meant to do now. But the question remained, if I built it, would they come.”

“كنّا متعلّقين بالأكل كثيرًا في أسرتي، وفي يومٍ من الأيّام أدركتُ أنّني لا أعرف ما الجوع الحقيقي. علّمونا أن نستمتع بالغذاء وبالأكل، فكنّا نأكل لنمنع الجوع لا لنطفئه، وكنّا - وما زلنا - نقضي وقتًا طويلًا في البحث عن الأكل، وانتقائه، وإعداده وأكله. نأكل حين يأتي وقت الأكل حتى وإن لم نكن نشعر بالجوع”
