Zitat des Tages von Sherry Yard:
If someone wants to order a cake, I might say, 'OK, when do you want to eat it? What time are your guests arriving? 6 P.M.? So you might be done with dinner around 8:30? Fine, you can pick up the cake at 4. Any earlier than that, it won't be good, it won't be fresh.'
When I was four and my sister six, we got a Susie Homemaker oven for our birthdays.
You have to know when to give up control, and if you go to a good restaurant, you have to give it up - it's a trust factor.

It's all about technique. Rotisserie sounds simple, but to really do it the right way is important so you can get really great products and let them stand on their own.
I shop at the farmers' market twice a week.
At Spago, we make all of our pasta from scratch with egg yolks, so I'm always looking for new ways to play with egg whites.
Desserts are all about form and function, about warm and hot and cold. I want every component to hit your palate on different levels at different times.
Sugar is my friend, not my love. I always season sugar with a bit of acid or salt. Listen to your tongue.
I'd rather bake 14 times a day than bake one time a day and have all the bakers go home, and then everything's 14 hours old by the time anyone eats it. No.
Brush your teeth often.
The appetite starts with the eye.
I see City Perch as a destination restaurant.
Grandma played a taste test game with my sister and me when I was 3 years old. She would blindfold us and have us guess what was on the spoon: the first flavors I got were strawberry - then coffee!
Efficiency is key to a successful kitchen. Clean your station as you go. Make yourself aerodynamic. Buy the best. Taste ingredients as you go.
