Recipes tell you nothing. Learning techniques is the key. – Tom Colicchio
Asian food is very easy to like because it hits your mouth very differently than European food does. In European food, there may be two things to hit – maybe sweet and salty, maybe salty-savory, but Asian kind of works around, plus you have that distinct flavor thats usually working in Asian food. – 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
So you can say, Get Big Government out of here, and dont tell me what to eat, but when kids are going to school, and theyre being fed junk, were pretty much telling them what to eat, and were telling them junk is OK. – Tom Colicchio
