He sits before he stands; he babbles before he talks; he fabricates before he tells the truth; he draws a circle before he draws a square; he is selfish before he is altruistic; he is dependent on others before he achieves dependence on self.

“When people ask me how I develop recipes, I have to respond: "travelling, eating, watching, experimenting, and constantly asking myself: 'Do I want to eat this dish again?'" Will I yearn for it some evening when I'm hungry? Will I remember it in six months' time? In a year? Five years from now?”
