I have to share this here. It is totally taken from
Magical Eating:
I was thinking about how the kitchen is such a metaphor for life:
- Salt is like enthusiasm - add at the beginning and the middle, but reserve some for the end.
- Keep your tools sharp; pay attention as you use them.
- When you’re hot, sweaty, and exhausted, stop to appreciate the sauce you’re making.
- If it lacks flavor, try reducing.
- Always kiss the cook, especially if it’s you.
