Affliction comes to us all, not to make us sad, but sober; not to make us sorry, but to make us wise; not to make us despondent, but by its darkness to refresh us as the night refreshes the day; not to impoverish, but to enrich us. – Henry Ward Beecher
In recent years, Ive been writing because Im fortunate enough to work in the world of food television, to travel and taste and learn about cooking from the best chefs in the business. – Ted Allen
