The simpler the food, the harder it is to prepare it well. You want to truly taste what it is youre eating. So that goes back to the trend of fine ingredients. Its very Japanese: Preparing good ingredients very simply, without distractions from the flavor of the ingredient itself. – Joel Robuchon

Taste is developed by the diversity of the products one can sample. I think our children today may be missing an education about food. We must teach them to know their cuisine and to know the equilibrium of nourishment. That is very important for health. – Joel Robuchon

I like a well-roasted rotisserie chicken and eggs cooked various ways, like sunny-side up or scrambled. Its comfort food for me. – Joel Robuchon
