You Don't Come Into Cooking To Get

Push Your Limit To The Absolute Extreme.

Chefs Don't Do Ponytails And We Shouldn't Do Them Because I Guarantee That Whenever There's A Discovery Of Hair In The Food, It's Guaranteed It's From The Chef's Ponytail.

The Pressure On Young Chefs Today Is Far Greater Than Ever Before In Terms Of Social Skills, Marketing Skills, Cooking Skills, Personality And, More Importantly, Delivering On The Plate. So You Need To Be Strong. Physically Fit. So My Chefs Get Weighed Every Time They Come Into The Kitchen.

Bake Some Bread. Make A Focaccia Bread Or Bake A Whole Mill Loaf. Do Something Creative, And Then Put The Labor Of Love Into It In The Beginning. When You Take That Bread Out Of The Oven And You Eat It An Hour- And- A- Half, Two- Hours Later, You Start To Appreciate It More And Then You Eat Less Because You Worked So Hard To Make It, You Appreciate It In A Much Better Way.

I Spend More Time In The Kitchen Than I Have In The Dining Room, For Obvious Reasons, However, I Just Want To Sit And Indulge.
