"A man accustomed to American food and American domestic cookery would not starve to death suddenly in Europe, but I think he would gradually waste away, and eventually die." |
| 'A Tramp Abroad', Mark Twain (Samuel Langhorne Clemens) (1835-1910) |
"Cuisine is both an art and a science: it is an art when it strives to bring about the realization of the true and the beautiful, called le bon (the good) in the order of culinary ideas. As a science, it respects chemistry, physics and natural history. Its axioms are called aphorisms, its theorems recipes, and its philosophy gastronomy." |
| Ginette Olivesi-Lorenzias |

"When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?" |
| Alice B. Toklas |
Bread deals with living things, with giving life, with growth, with the seed, the grain that nurtures. It is not coincidence that we say bread is the staff of life. |

I have a great diet. You're allowed to eat anything you want, but you must eat it with naked fat people. |

After eating chocolate you feel godlike, as though you can conquer enemies, lead armies, entice lovers. |

Always take a good look at what you're about to eat. It's not so important to know what it is, but it's critical to know what it was. |

In a small bowl, combine the milk, cream and eggs; beat with a rotary
egg beater. Add the salt, pepper and onions. Sprinkle half of the
grated cheese in the bottom of the pastry shell. Arrange the
fiddlehead tips over the cheese, then add the bacon, breaking it into
bite-sized pieces. Pour in the milk mixture, add the rest of the
cheese, and grate fresh nutmeg over the top.
Bake at 375 F. for 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the
custard comes out clean.
Yield: 4 to 6 servings.
