I say: If you dont know how to cook, Im sure you have at least one friend who knows how to cook. Well, call that friend and say, Can I come next time and can I bring some food and can I come an hour or two hours ahead and watch you and help you? – Jacques Pepin

You cant escape the taste of the food you had as a child. In times of stress, what do you dream about? Your mothers clam chowder. Its security, comfort. It brings you home. – Jacques Pepin
