Albert Einstein
“Aucun destin ne justifierait une quelconque exaltation de quiconque”
Albert Einstein, The World As I See It

Karl Wiggins
“A real dish has grown from all the chefs who have combined their talents over the centuries to develop a meal with unique physical characteristics, for there’s not a chef on earth who can claim sole title to a particular dish. It will have typical Iberian or French features, but with traces of Indian, Celtic, Roman, Jewish and even Moorish culture in its savour, although food can’t possibly pass from one country to another without change”
Karl Wiggins, Wrong Planet - Searching for your Tribe
