Zitat des Tages von Eric Ripert:
I am totally anti-technology.
I find the organic wave much more interesting in America than in France.
I don't like it when I go to a restaurant and I'm lectured from the menu.
I am a Buddhist, therefore I should not be collecting anything - however, I have a collection of Buddhas. I have a lot of them.
It took me all my life to learn how to salt a tomato.
I'm very inspired by other cultures and very often use what I perceive to be exotic ingredients.
Factory farming's evil; you know that.
To me, it's very important to have time at the restaurant but also time with family and time for myself.
Some chefs go crazy with one restaurant, and if I had 20, I would go nuts.
The nature of human beings is to eat meat and fruits and vegetables, and therefore we have to kill animals. I don't have a problem with that. But it's a sacred moment. It's a gift of life.
I barely speak English.
Chefs are leaders in their own little world.
When I am about to have a difficult project, I dream I am climbing a mountain. When everything is going fine, I dream I am going down the mountain.
I come from a family of farmers on both sides of my family.
I don't follow the food trends.
There is great food in Vegas.
I'm fascinated by Japanese cuisine.
I see a lot of people who change careers in the middle of their life and they think it's a good idea to come in the kitchen.
Everybody wants to support his own region and economy and farming. If we can preserve the land and if we can preserve the ocean, we all know, deep inside that we're doing the right thing.
I am not a picture guy. I like to live in the present and keep the image of the past vivid in my mind. I don't need the precision of the picture.
