Chef quotes. Quotes on the topic “Cook. Japanese cuisine is the perfect food for a ballerina. Maya Plisetskaya
Chef is one of the most sought-after and most ancient professions. Records of culinary recipes can be found among the written monuments of Mesopotamia, Egypt, China and the Arab East. In ancient Rome, cooking was equated with art, and Cooking was called the tenth muse. Today legendary chefs are no less famous than show business stars, and their author's dishes have entered the treasury of world culture. We bring to your attention a selection of quotes and aphorisms about chefs, illustrated by the works of artists.
To The kings erect their statues, the priests erect their cathedrals. The cook does not leave any monuments, in addition to crumbs. His rarest creations are sent under the dishwasher scrapers and brushes. His greatest dishes are destined to go to the cesspool.
Lawrence Norfolk, The Feast of John Saturnall (2014)
H There are no bad foods - there are bad cooks. Or just very good ones. There is no middle ground here! William Pokhlebkin (1923 - 2000), the greatest connoisseur of Russian cuisine
T Whoever says that cooking is not as high art as painting and sculpture, I can say that they have asses instead of heads! It is much higher! The work of a sculptor is eternal, while the greatness of a cook is measured by how quickly his creations disappear. A true master must create masterpieces every day.
Hugo Di Fonte, The Taster (2002)

B God created food, but the devil made cooks.
John Taylor (1580-1653), English writer and poet
Mother worked and sang in the kitchen near the old stove, which was heated with coal. She stirred the apple jam that was bubbling in a large bowl. Or canned peaches. From them, a thick spicy spirit spread throughout the house. She was making jelly. A sack of fruit pulp hung over the stove.
Viscous juice flowed through the burlap into a basin, on the edges of which a dense pinkish foam settled. And in the middle of the pelvis, the juice was clear and red.
Mother baked bread twice a week. There was always a jar of sourdough in the glacier, and she never worried about the yeast. The bread came out fluffy and toasty, sometimes rising two or three inches off the pan. Taking the loaves out of the oven, the mother smeared the brown crust with butter and let the bread cool. But the buns were even better. Mother put them in the oven in such a way that they would be ripe for dinner. Buns from the heat, from the heat - just delicious! They were cut, smeared with oil, and it immediately melted; some kind of jam or jam made from apricots with nuts was put on top, and then nothing else would go into your mouth, although there was other food on the table. And sometimes, especially in summer, they gave a thick slice of bread with a piece of cold butter for dinner. Sprinkle sugar on top - and no cake is needed. Or you steal a thick circle of sweet Bermuda onions from the kitchen, put between two crusts of bread and butter - and, even though you go around the whole world, you will not find anything tastier.
In autumn, mother spent whole days, even for weeks on end, almost never got out of the kitchen. She canned peaches, cherries, raspberries, blueberries, plums, apricots, made jams, jams, jellies and marinades. She worked and sang, singing in her absent voice the same melody, without words, because she was thinking of something else.
Dalton Trumbo "Johnny Got a Rifle" (1939)
L better than cooking only good jazz and long sex.
Janusz Leon Wisniewski, “Loneliness on the Web” (2001)

FROM too many cooks - goodbye stew
English proverb
The earth is also generous,
That there are cooks in the world! ...
Blessed be their simple destinies,
And hands, as if thoughts are clean.
Their profession is good in fact:
An evil person will not stand at the stove.
…
Let the chroniclers talk about eternity,
Let the tragedian sing of the dust of epochs.
And I'm talking about prose. About food. About food.
After all, if there is a God somewhere,
I see him at the great stove, -
Steamed, with a ladle in his hand.
With a mysterious, kind smile.
And - of course - in a white cap.
Robert Rozhdestvensky (1932 - 1994), Soviet poet and translator.
The name of the Catalan Ferran Adria is familiar to every lover of gourmet cuisine. He is the chef of the once best restaurant in the world, El Bulli, on the Costa Brava. In Spain, his name is equated with history - Adria is loved no less than Gaudi, Dali or Picasso. We have selected the top 10 chef's quotes about creativity, enjoyment of food and products.
To make food delicious, you need to be able to play with the ingredients. And, of course, creativity and novelty are important in the cooking process.
I say this: I work in the avant-garde genre, cooking a new generation of food. I believe that anyone can be intelligent and capable. But to invest your soul, emotions and personal experiences in your business - not everyone can do it. It's the same with any profession. Even if you work in the field and pick grapes. It's like architecture. You visually like the building, the style in which it is built, you look at it, you get emotions. But you cannot imagine how hard it was built and what it simply rests on, because you never studied to be an architect and a projector. The same with restaurants.
The main success of a restaurateur lies in the ability to make people happy.
The pleasure of eating It's like the pleasure of making love. Only when making love, you use all the same senses as in our gastronomy. You can, as in love, touch, listen to smells, taste everything - well, you understand me, who likes what
The main success of the restaurateur is about making people happy. I serve my customers myself and serve them prepared dishes with a detailed explanation of what kind of culinary miracle they will try. Personal contact with people who love and understand your cuisine is very important. Our team and I give our visitors pleasure, nurture their taste for good cuisine. And this, believe me, is more expensive than any money.
I don't have a Ferrari collection no luxury yacht. I am happy in the kitchen, and this is the most important thing!
To create is not to copy or imitate
All products have the same gastronomic value, regardless of their price. New technologies are simply a resource for promoting cooking. Although the characteristics of the products can be changed (temperature, structure, shape, etc.), the goal of cooking is to preserve as much as possible the purity of their original taste and aroma.
create means not to copy or imitate. Cooking is a language that can be used to convey harmony, happiness, beauty, complexity, poetry, magic, humor, provocation, culture - in general, everything that makes up our lives.
We are not better or worse than others We just love to surprise people. We live at the intersection of philosophy and creativity, that is, in constant search.
I never worked just for that to become number 1 in the world. When I opened a restaurant, the ultimate dream was to ever get a Michelin star. Now Michelin and number 1 in various ratings - everything is there, the ego is satisfied. But what is most pleasant, the top lines in the lists continue to be occupied by the "younger brothers" of El Bulli - the establishments that we opened after.
I never liked to study. I don’t have a chef’s education at all, and I didn’t know how to cook in my youth and didn’t particularly like it. I washed dishes in a restaurant on the beach. How I got into this jungle - I still wonder. My path of becoming is very atypical for a chef. Maybe that's why I manage to cook "atypical food". We have creativity at the forefront. And creativity is how you look at things in life. Everyone can be creative, but if you are a creator, you need a thermometer in order to determine which creativity is the most important and important. It's very hard to measure it. Our creativity is based on different organs of perception: sight, smell, tactile sensations. There is also taste and the so-called sixth sense, which is indispensable.
