Recipes tell you nothing. Learning techniques is the key. – Tom Colicchio
I started cooking in kitchens right out of high school, and I was lucky to work with a lot of great people, but I had no idea it would turn into this. Of course no one should go into this business because they want to be the next Emeril. – 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
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
