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

Julia Child
“Maybe the cat has fallen into the stew, or the lettuce has frozen, or the cake has collapsed. Eh bien, tant pis. Usually one's cooking is better than one thinks it is. And if the food is truly vile, then the cook must simply grit her teeth and bear it with a smile, and learn from her mistakes.”
Julia Child, My Life in France
