“What I love about cooking is that after a hard day, there is something comforting about the fact that if you melt butter and add flour and then hot stock,
it will get thick! It’s a sure thing! It’s sure thing in a world where nothing is sure; it has a mathematical certainty in a world where those of us who long for some kind of certainty are forced to settle for crossword puzzles.”
