I love to cook. I could never give that up.
I say: If you don’t know how to cook, I’m sure you have at least one friend who knows how to cook. Well, call that friend and say, ‘Can I come next time and can I bring some food and can I come an hour or two hours ahead and watch you and help you?’
Give yourself enough time to really learn how to cook.
Pressure cookers are relatively inexpensive, they’re in every kitchen store, your grandma probably had one, but a lot of people don’t. A pressure cooker is interesting because by pressurizing the vessel, you’re able to cook much hotter than the boiling point of water, and still have water be present.
I go four- wheeling in my truck. I also like to fish, cook, do stuff around my house. I even studied fencing for awhile.
I don’t cook, but I would love to learn.
Flesh-meats will depreciate the blood. Cook meat with spices, and eat it with rich cakes and pies, and you have a bad quality of blood.
I will tell you, I’m a lousy cook, but I think I’m a pretty good judge of a good meal.
Whites cook at a lower temperature, set at a lower temperature than yolks. That, to me, is very interesting. That has opened up – as an egg lover, that has opened up sort of a world of possibilities, of applications.
Sorry, I’m not much of a cook.
I consider a good dinner party at our house to be where people drink and eat more than they’re meant to. My husband is a really fantastic cook. His mother is Italian and if you walk into our house, we assume you’re starving.
I like to eat. Definitely. I love sitting around a table with my friends. But I don’t know how to cook anything.
Eventually I just want to live a normal life. I want to get married and have children and cook, wash… all the things that I do now. My background is very normal and steady, and that’s what I like.
Sometimes I’ll go to the grocery store and buy a bunch of groceries as though I knew how to cook, which I don’t, and as though I was going to be home for the next six days, which I won’t.
Now everybody thinks that once you do Top Chef, then 13 weeks later you’re a chef. Nobody wants to learn to cook anymore.

I only really cook for myself once or twice a week, but I cook for my dogs almost every day.
I moved in with a roommate who told me, ‘Stay with me until you can afford rent. Don’t give up.’ People who supported me were like, ‘If you don’t have money for food, I’ll cook you dinner. You don’t have money for acting class? Let’s get together and read lines.’
My kitchen witch hangs above the sink in my kitchen. Some people think it’s specifically so that you don’t burn food when you cook, but I like to think that it’s warding off evil spirits and bad things in general.
The thing about being at home versus being out in the world working is, it’s a whole different vibe. When I’m home with my kids and partner, I will cook – even though she’s a very good cook. She’s learned over the years. We started with basics, you know, how to saute onions, how to saute mushrooms.
I cook a great fish, a great salmon. I grill it, get the skin nice and crispy.
I buy extra virgin olive oil by the case (much less expensive this way) and reach for it several times a day. I use it to marinate and cook my protein, saute my vegetables, and drizzle on my salads.
My worst habit in the kitchen is not allowing anybody to help me. I like to cook by myself.
I cook naked, and I walk around naked. I’m very comfortable with my body.
My roots are from Iran and so, I cook Iranian dishes that have been passed down the generations in our family. I was born and raised in India and enjoy cooking Indian food, too.
People that know me know that I cook. I cook every night.
I cook anything, be it vegetarian or non-vegetarian. But mutton dishes are my favourite.
I travel the world, and I can see in Toronto the cooking is very personal. These people cook with their hearts.
The universe is hilarious! Like, Venus is 900 degrees. I could tell you it melts lead. But that’s not as fun as saying, ‘You can cook a pizza on the windowsill in nine seconds.’ And next time my fans eat pizza, they’re thinking of Venus!
It’s almost ingrained in people that, just like you can’t be a smart model, you can’t be a good-looking cook.
Brussels sprouts are misunderstood – probably because most people don’t know how to cook them properly.
I’m not saying my wife’s a bad cook, but she uses a smoke alarm as a timer.
My mother was an awful cook, an exceptionally awful kosher cook, but I stayed kosher until I got to college, even though I’d long stopped believing in God.
My mom is a really good cook. I didn’t get the cooking gene, but she cooks this really amazing dinner every Christmas, and that’s always really fun.
I’m lucky I live near Whole Foods… so if I’m hungry, I can walk in there and grab something yummy… already made… or make it myself. I love to cook. I make a killer marinara sauce.
My own favorite way to cook and eat razor clams is to simply dredge them in a mix of seasoned flour and cornmeal, then pan fry them in butter until crisp and golden. Be careful not to overcook them so they stay tender, not tough and chewy.
I’m not a trained chef. I’m a self-taught cook, and I want people to be like, ‘Yo, I could do that! Maybe I didn’t think to or maybe it seemed harder than it really is.’
I’m not a cooking person, so there’s not much in the fridge. On the rare occasion that I do cook, I make myself breakfast. Eggs are my go-to in the morning for some protein. Orange juice as well. You have to start your day off with that.
I’m just trying to cook good food, and I’m not afraid to do whatever I need to do to keep the food evolving.
I’m a big cook and prefer to make meals at home when I can. I’m either cooking, or we’re going to a drive-through somewhere. I’m really proud of my homemade sweet potato pie. At Thanksgiving I make five of them because they go quick.
I love to cook comfort food. I’ll make fish and vegetables or meat and vegetables and potatoes or rice. The ritual of it is fun for me, and the creativity of it.
If you cook something on the show, and I don’t like it, I’m going to tell you. I don’t understand how you could watch any of these morning shows, and everything everybody cooks is absolutely delicious. Are you kidding me, man?
Destroying rainforest for economic gain is like burning a Renaissance painting to cook a meal.
I was a very good cook, and I knew I could build a business.
I can’t cook! It’s genetic. My grandmother can’t cook, my mother can’t cook. I was raised to believe you eat because your body needs fuel for energy, so I eat super foods.
After years of working in professional kitchens, and then spending so much time in a lot of different home kitchens, I realized that there’s a huge gap in the market where you have people who develop cookware but who don’t actually cook.
Be sure to read a recipe all the way through before you cook. The time it saves you in the long run is invaluable.
People tend to associate fairies with princesses, but they couldn’t be more different. Princesses have dynastic and domestic pressures, and they get parked on glass hills. Fairies don’t have families. They don’t clean or cook. They sip nectar from flowers and dance by the light of the moon.
My dinner options are kept simple during Wimbledon. I have either salmon with rice, roast chicken with vegetables and potatoes, or steak with salad. My girlfriend Kim will cook, and I know each night that it will be one of those three.
The way I grew up, everyone knew how to cook, sew… carpentry.
Whenever I want to know how to cook something, I can’t ask one chef – I have to ask six.
It’s easier to write about Socrates than about a young woman or a cook.
I never cook from cookbooks.
Peter Cook and Dudley Moore were friends and the last people I expected would predecease me. They were, in a sense, casualties of fame.
Before being elected to Congress, I oversaw the Cook County Hospital System as a Cook County Commissioner for 10 years.
I wouldn’t say that processed food, ready meals and even takeaways aren’t relevant to modern life, it’s just that over the past 40 years there are three generations of people who have come out of school and gone through their home life without ever being shown how to cook properly.
People always comment about my clothes. They don’t think a fashionable woman can love food and be knowledgeable and actually cook.
My mom was Sicilian, my dad was Sicilian. Mom was a great cook, but all the women were.
You don’t have to love cooking to cook, but you have to do more than love baking to bake. You have to bake out of love.
My mother never made me do anything for my brothers, like serve them. I think that’s an important lesson, especially for the Latino culture, because the women are expected to be the ones that serve and cook and whatever. Not in our family. Everybody was equal.
I’m very down-to-earth and approachable, and I can be one of the guys and watch sports… I like to cook – I’m like the girl next door.
