Recipes are important but only to a point. Whats more important than recipes is how we think about food, and a good cookbook should open up a new way of doing just that. – Michael Symon
Its not always possible to sit down and eat at home in this day and age of fast-paced living, but if you are going to eat out, do so as a family and support all the great local places in your areas. Ill still eat at the same diner I did as a kid with my parents. – Michael Symon
People come up to me all the time and say, Oh, I love to watch Food Network, and I ask them what they cook, and they say, I dont really cook. Theyre afraid, theyre intimidated, they know all about food from eating out and watching TV, but they dont know where to start in their own kitchen. – Michael Symon
I love doing demonstrations. I think to be a great chef you have to be a great teacher. I love doing classes with people who love food and enjoy food, bringing them all around one table so to speak. – Michael Symon
