Recipes tell you nothing. Learning techniques is the key. – Tom Colicchio
Most cooks try to learn by making dishes. Doesnt mean you can cook. It means you can make that dish. When you can cook is when you can go to a farmers market, buy a bunch of stuff, then go home and make something without looking at a recipe. Now youre cooking. – Tom Colicchio
Even cooking at home, the difference between my wife cooking and me cooking is major. When my wife cooks, the kitchen looks like a disaster. When I cook its completely clean and organized and it doesnt look like anyone has been cooking in there. – Tom Colicchio
Its funny how I use social media because I dont use it to promote my restaurants that much. I use it for social issues and I think thats what its for. I do a few things – I mess around with music a lot because thats a passion of mine. If something strikes me and I want to share it, I do. – Tom Colicchio
