“Man is made to adore and to obey:
but if you will not command him,
if you give him nothing to worship,
he will fashion his own divinities,
and find a chieftain in his own passions.”

Pop art!

An artist is someone who produces things that people don't need to have but that he -for some reason- thinks it would be a good idea to give them.

Μαρσέλ Μαρσό

«Η μιμική είναι μια πλήρης τέχνη, αυτόνομη και αυτάρκης. Η γλώσσα της σιωπής που χρησιμοποιεί μπορεί να μιλήσει εύγλωττα, εκλύοντας πολλές φορές μια ποίηση ανώτερη από την ποίηση που περικλείει ο λόγος, χωρίς όμως να έχει τη φιλοδοξία να τον υποκαταστήσει, αλλά και χωρίς να μπορεί να υποκατασταθεί από εκείνον.

"When once you have tasted flight,
you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward,
for there you have been,
and there you will always long to return."

Σεφ και μαγειρική τέχνη

Αγάπησα τη μαγειρική τέχνη από την ώρα που κατάλαβα ότι δεν είναι μόνο συνταγές αλλά και μέσο έκφρασης. Τρόπος να χτίζεις σχέσεις με τους άλλους.
Pierre Gagnaire
Cooking is an art and patience a virtue... Careful shopping, fresh ingredients and an unhurried approach are nearly all you need. There is one more thing.. love. Love for food and love for those you invite to your table. With a combination of these things you can be an artist.
Keith Floyd

Measure the girth of the chef and you can rate his restaurant.
French saying
Anybody can make you enjoy the first bite of a dish, but only a real chef can make you enjoy the last.
Francois Minot
To be tempted and indulged by the city's most brilliant chefs. It's the dream of every one of us in love with food.
