Food Quotes:
C is for cookie, it's good enough for me; oh cookie cookie cookie starts with C.
Cookie Monster , character on "Sesame Street," U.S. children's television program
"Americans can eat garbage, provided you sprinkle it liberally with ketchup, mustard, chili sauce, tabasco sauce, cayenne pepper, or any other condiment which destroys the original flavor of the dish."
Henry Miller, American writer (1891-1980)
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
