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
Go to the grocery store and buy better things. Buy quality, buy organic, buy natural, go to the farmers market. Immediately thats going to increase the quality of the food you make. – 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
