“I am simply of the opinion that you cannot be taught to write. You have to spend a lifetime in love with words.”
Craig Claiborne

“Cooking is at once child's play and adult joy. And cooking done with care is an act of love.”
Craig Claiborne

“Nothing rekindles my spirits, gives comfort to my heart and mind, more than a visit to Mississippi... and to be regaled as I often have been, with a platter of fried chicken, field peas, collard greens, fresh corn on the cob, sliced tomatoes with French dressing... and to top it all off with a wedge of freshly baked pecan pie.”
