“My wife was easy because she trains [jiu-jitsu] all the time. She's pretty much on a completely different diet. I always just threw meat at her and she's happy on a 100 percent protein diet, so we seldom ate together.”
“My mother cooked like a scientist. She had a giant Chinese-style cleaver that she chopped with, and a cupboard full of spices.”
“As a chef I’m not your dietitian or your ethicist, I’m in the pleasure business.”

“I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self.”
“All the elements, whose aid man calls in, will sometimes become big masters.”
“The best way to get trained is to get mentored - live or by reading or watching videos by masters. That way, you start executing based on lessons from the best.”
