There are only three things women need in life: food, water, and compliments.

I get way too much happiness from good food.

It’s easy to impress me. I don’t need a fancy party to be happy. Just good friends, good food, and good laughs. I’m happy. I’m satisfied. I’m content.

If music be the food of love, play on.

Cooking is all about people. Food is maybe the only universal thing that really has the power to bring everyone together. No matter what culture, everywhere around the world, people get together to eat.

There is no sincerer love than the love of food.

Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.

When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself.

If you can’t feed a hundred people, then feed just one.

I’m just someone who likes cooking and for whom sharing food is a form of expression.

One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.

Food is for eating, and good food is to be enjoyed… I think food is, actually, very beautiful in itself.

You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.

Agriculture is not crop production as popular belief holds – it’s the production of food and fiber from the world’s land and waters. Without agriculture it is not possible to have a city, stock market, banks, university, church or army. Agriculture is the foundation of civilization and any stable economy.

Food, to me, is always about cooking and eating with those you love and care for.

You don’t need a silver fork to eat good food.

Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.

If you truly get in touch with a piece of carrot, you get in touch with the soil, the rain, the sunshine. You get in touch with Mother Earth and eating in such a way, you feel in touch with true life, your roots, and that is meditation. If we chew every morsel of our food in that way we become grateful and when you are grateful, you are happy.

Fast food is popular because it’s convenient, it’s cheap, and it tastes good. But the real cost of eating fast food never appears on the menu.

There’s no better feeling in the world than a warm pizza box on your lap.
