| Soy sauce and seaweed go really well with potato chips. | | 101| A cocktail can be made by the bartender. But the cocktail also can be made by the chef. | | 102| Cotton candy is the most amazing form of caramelization ever invented by man. | Amazing | 103| IBM has research and development; so do Microsoft and Nike and even Jose Andres. But there hasn't been enough R&D on feeding people in the Third World. This has to be part of the process; if not, we'll keep throwing money at the problem instead of investing in true solutions. | Money | 104| I guess that from the moment we are fed by our mothers, without even knowing it, we are caught in a net that brings us comfort, something we always feel when a special woman cooks for us. It is something unique and personal - it is something we want to keep for ourselves. | | 105| It is time to embrace and celebrate ketchup, not be ashamed of it. | | 106| I mix mayonnaise, ketchup and brandy and a little bit of mustard. This is a heck of a good sauce for seafood. | | 107| I believe no chef becomes what he becomes without having many people influence him. | | 108| I'm always looking to the future and what will next be on the horizon. | Future | 109| With their bright color and fantastic balance of acidity and sweetness, tomatoes are a natural refresher and the perfect element for meals on warm and sultry days. | | 110| My mother and I were born in Mieres, Asturias, the most beautiful region you'll ever see in Europe and the home of Cabrales, a great blue cheese made in the Asturian mountains. When I was young, we moved to Barcelona. Whenever my mother was homesick for Asturias, she'd eat a little piece of Cabrales to bring her closer to Mieres. | Home | 111| My family and I cook at home almost every day together. The kitchen is the central and most important room in the house; it's a great way for us to connect. We love going to the farmer's market on Sundays as a family and choosing the ingredients together. | Home | 112| I realized very early the power of food to evoke memory, to bring people together, to transport you to other places, and I wanted to be a part of that. | Food | 113| Like many parents after a long family holiday, I usually welcome the moment when my kids head back to school. | | 114| Everyone should wake up and have a fresh-squeezed orange every day. By having a fresh glass of orange juice with American oranges, you are supporting the local economy, you have all the vitamin C you need in a day, and you support the environment because you don't use any plastic from bottles or bags. | | 115| The modernity of yesterday is the tradition of today, and the modernity of today will be tradition tomorrow. | | 116| In America, diner food or roadside barbecue is the best road food, but I am not a fan of eating while driving - too messy. | Food | 117| The first time I saw America was from my perch on the mast of a Spanish naval ship, where I could spot the Statue of Liberty reaching proudly into the open, endless American sky. | | 118| Pimenton gets its intense flavor because it is dried over wood smoke. You can try hot, sweet or bittersweet, though sweet is probably the most commonly used. | | 119| If what I have to do is share a sandwich to lift someone's spirits, put a smile on their face - the worst thing that happens is I go broke! | Smile | 120| The cheapest gadget - and you don't even have to spend a dime - is chopsticks from a Chinese restaurant. I use them for everything: to toss salads, to turn a piece of meat in the pan, to flip croquettes in the Fryolator, to whisk eggs for omelets, to stir eggs into fried rice when I make that for my daughters. | | 121| Me, I'm an encyclopedia. I'm not a very smart guy, but I'm an encyclopedia. You can ask me about anything you want. Probably I have the book; probably I have a first edition. | | 122| A lot of people prefer to be alone. They would rather be a palm tree on an island. I don't get it. | Alone | 123| Old cookbooks connect you to your past and explain the history of the world. | | 124| The business of feeding people is the most amazing business in the world. | Amazing | 125| I was very impressed with the street food of Singapore. I was very impressed with the dishes that they did. | | 126| When I came to El Bulli, right away I knew I was becoming part of something incredible. It was like watching the Big Bang happening right in front of me. | | 201| In 2010, I created World Central Kitchen as a way to try and help find solutions to many of the food issues we face. | | 202| In Hong Kong, 'wonton' means swallowing a cloud. | | 203| I think every chef should have a food truck. It's a good way to test the markets, to invest in meeting the future restaurant goers. | | 204| There is nothing better than picking up sun-warmed tomatoes and smelling them, feeling them and scrutinizing their shiny skins for imperfections, dreaming of ways to serve them. | | 205| Music is always on. Not at work. But at home, everything always has to have a soundtrack. | | 206| The culture of modern Spain is something many people are still discovering. | | 207| Simple ingredients, treated with respect... put them together and you will always have a great dish. | Respect | 208| After a year, the aromatics in an olive oil are gone. Sometimes the bottles on the shelf in the supermarket are there a lot longer than you are. | | 209| Our brain, our body, craves fat. We cannot help it. That's why a kid will eat a hot dog quicker than a piece of broccoli. | | 210| If you have some potatoes, green beans and cauliflower, you have a heck of a dish that can feed an entire family. | | 211| I've been a cook all my life, but I am still learning to be a good chef. I'm always learning new techniques and improving beyond my own knowledge because there is always something new to learn and new horizons to discover. | Knowledge, Learning | 212| When we are trying to come up with new health laws, you bring doctors, you bring experts in medicine. In urban planning, you bring the best architects. How it is possible that when we are talking about the way we are going to feed America, no chef shows up in the room? | Health | 213| I believe in tradition and innovation, authenticity and passion. | | 214| One thing that makes me very happy is to see the growing activism among chefs in America. Chefs like Tom Colicchio, Bill Telepan, and Rachel Ray and food writers like Michael Pollan have gone to Congress, indeed sometimes even have testified before Congress, have lent this support to Mrs. Obama's effort to combat childhood obesity. | | 215| Without a doubt, one of my favorite American ingredients is blue crabs, a true delicacy! And a great value, I think. | | 216| Everyone else in the world still thinks of American food as ketchup. | | 217| Behind Chipotle is not a corporation; behind Chipotle is a man that is one of the great cooks, that created a great concept. | | 218| Don't skimp on the ice. Bags from the grocery store melt so fast and water down your drinks. I prefer beautiful, big squares for my cocktails. | | 219| Tapas is a celebration of life. | | 220| For me, summer hasn't really started until tomatoes reappear in local farmers' markets. | | 221| When you go to watch a baseball game, when you go to watch an NBA game, when you watch an NFL game, when you go to watch movies, the offering that those arenas are doing foodwise is 'all the hot dogs you can eat'; all the French fries you can eat; for $20 you can eat 20 hot dogs. | | 222| As chefs, we work with organizations like Oxfam to enrich their projects with culinary tools, recipes and ideas. | | 223| We still have to keep betting on markets like America that are full of opportunities to grow, even if we have to work our heads off to do it. | | 224| I remember that at the beginning of the month, the kind of menus my mom and father would prepare for us would have fish, chicken. But at the end of the month - because my father would be waiting for paycheck - the refrigerator would get empty. I remember that without a lot of food left, some of the best meals happened right there. | Mom | 225| When the earthquake hit Haiti in 2010, I was on vacation in the Cayman Islands. | | 226| Look at our farmers' markets today, bursting with heritage breeds and heirloom varieties, foods that were once abundant when we were an agricultural nation, but that we have lost touch with. Bringing all these back helps us connect to our roots, our communities and helps us feed America the proper way. | | 301| I started culinary school at a very young age, and really I wanted to be out working, cooking, more than I wanted to be in a classroom. You could say I wasn't a very good student - I wanted to be a student of life and experience. | | 302| Most people only use their griddles for pancakes, but you can sear vegetables like sliced zucchini or mushrooms, thinly sliced meats like chicken or pork, or thinly sliced fish or squid. | | 303| As a chef and as a father, I am very upset by what's on the menu at most schools: chicken nuggets and tater tots and ketchup and pizza. | | 304| Chefs are at the end of a long chain of individuals who work hard to feed people. Farmers, beekeepers, bakers, scientists, fishermen, grocers, we are all part of that chain, all food people, all dedicated to feeding the world. | | 305| As chefs, we cook to please people, to nourish people. | | 306| Meat, to me, it's slightly boring. Hold on, I love meat too, but only once in a while. You get a piece of meat, and you put it in your mouth, you chew, the first five seconds, all the juices flow around your mouth, they're gone, and then you are 20 more seconds chewing something that is tasteless at this point. | | 307| Gelatins are one of most unbelievable areas in cooking today. | | 308| When you use a simple gelatin like collagen, you can get flavor that is 100 percent pure, maybe event 150 percent. | | 309| Puerto Rico is the perfect meeting place between Spain, the country I come from, and America, the country where I now belong. The meeting point of two worlds where magic can happen. | | 310| Let me tell you a story about when I was growing up in Spain. Many Sundays, we would invite 30, 40, 50 people to the countryside, and my father would make a big paella. He put me in charge of the fire and the 'stove' - the rocks that hold the pan. But he wouldn't let me cook. I got so unbelievably upset. | | 311| Women's cooking has always had a big influence on me personally. | | 312| Anchovies pair really well with fruit like a nectarines or clementine. The fruit complements the sweetness and saltiness of the anchovy. | | 313| I eventually settled in Washington, where my partners and I have been fortunate to build a restaurant business that now employs thousands of Americans across the country. | | 314| The history of cooking is my passion, and cooking is my passion. | | 315| Listen to me: Leek is a vegetable. It can be the center of a dish. | | 316| Simple ingredients prepared in a simple way - that's the best way to take your everyday cooking to a higher level. | | 317| Anyone who knows me knows that I always like to keep moving. | | 318| Chef Michel Richard is always at the top of his game. | | 319| Let me ask you: Who do you prefer, a clown organizing your menu - with all due respect to Mr. McDonald - or a chef? I do believe it's a very simple answer. | | 320| The right use of food can end hunger. | | 321| I always say that I don't believe I'm a chef. I try to be a storyteller. | | 322| Food is national security. Food is craft. Food is everything, when you think about it. | | 323| The only way to have a better world and end poverty is by closing the gap between the top and the bottom. | | 324| Everyting starts to happen at my home at 7 A. M., 7:20, when you hear the orange juicer. That means my daughters are already making the fresh Clementine juice. | | 325| I love Ozomatli, this L.A. band that makes great coffee. They are half American, half Mexican, their coffee's great, and they're very good friends. | | 326| Education is everything. It's for everyone. We all need to be educated. | | 401| Your parents would not be happy if you came home and said you wanted to grow up to be a chef or a rock star. | | 402| My whole life, I have been trying to cook an egg in the right way. | | 403|
