“Non-cooks think it’s silly to invest two hours’ work in two minutes’ enjoyment, but if cooking is evanescent, well, so is the ballet.”
-Julia Child
“We might recall that Jesus was labeled by his detractors as a ‘glutton and a drunkard.’ And we may try to imagine the joyful occasions that called forth that charge. Indeed, Jesus had the temerity to suggest that the table-fellowship shared with disciples, tax-gatherers, and sinners constituted an anticipation of the Kingdom of God. He proclaimed the presence of the Kingdom in the eating and drinking and talking and laughing on those occasions.”
-Bruce T. Marshall
“Cooking is not about being the best or most perfect cook, but rather it is about sharing the table with family and friends.”
-Skye Gyngell, My Favorite Ingredients
