My boyfriend’s a real chef, so I steer clear of him when I’m in the kitchen – I wouldn’t like him to catch me chopping an onion.
I’ve never cooked. I can’t do much more in the kitchen than make a cup of tea and some toast.
In general, cooks like to be in the kitchen and they don’t really interact with others.
I write stuff down. I have a chalkboard in the kitchen where I will scrawl stuff down if I have a faint outline of an idea. And I’ll go into my office or whatever. But that goes from format to format.
If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
The German public knows me quite well. I have been in their kitchens and living rooms for years.

Mama had her little cough. Once or twice, some quiet sobbing, out of sight… Or the slamming of kitchen cupboard doors. That was her language.
When the urge to bake strikes, it strikes hard and fast. You want to get in the kitchen and start breaking eggs right away, so it can be real buzzkill to find out that the recipe you’re using calls for room-temperature butter.
I said a lot of things about which I was wrong. Now I have to sit back and take what’s coming, and I will. I still like women in the bedrooms and kitchens in that order, but some of them can do other things.
Burlesque girls were alchemists. They were steel-tough performers who were willing to use kitchens as dressing rooms, haul their costume bags through the snow, and go into debt over fake diamonds, all for the five minutes onstage when they were goddesses.
Success is created in studio apartments and garages, at kitchen tables, and in classrooms across the nation, not in government conference rooms in Washington.

We journalists don’t have to step on roaches. All we have to do is turn on the kitchen light and watch the critters scutter.
I was raising seven kids. I lived in the bedrooms, in the laundry room, in the kitchen, in the car – car pooling all over. I just didn’t have time to sit down and watch a lot of TV. So I really didn’t.
I was a little, uh, incorrigible as a kid, so the kitchen was a good place to give me structure and balance. It taught me hard work, but then I grew to love it.
Ever since I read ‘Kitchen Confidential,’ I saw a little light bulb go off. Being a chef is like being on a pirate ship; it’s not like ‘Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe?’ or whatever my impression was as I was growing up.

I know how to cook, so working in the kitchen will never be an issue.
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.
When you are making a movie, there are a zillion cooks in the kitchen, and you don’t always get what you want to do. The story can always go in a different direction than what you would like. You compromise, and there is dealing and bickering.
I’m always cooking and can be found in the kitchen rustling up something for myself and the boys.
I’d happily just stay on the road. Getting home from America, sitting in my kitchen with a cup of tea, staring out of the window is pretty depressing. I didn’t have a tour manager to tell me what to do so I had to start reaching out to people and making plans. That was hard. You become very vegetable-y.
Read a recipe twice, weigh all the ingredients out before you start so that you don’t forget something and start with a clean kitchen.

I sympathize with every kitchen porter.
For me, the kitchen is the most special room in the house. It’s a place for adventure – not drudgery, but discovery, sharing and showing off with friends, trying new ideas.
Our little cat comes for a snuggle, then the big cat mews for a stroke and moves a few paces, then another stroke, then another few paces, until we realise he has mewed us into the kitchen where their food bowls are. So they eat, we eat, and then we get on with our days.
Hate is contagious. A few seconds after Donald Trump has told me something hateful, somebody else repeats it. He has legitimized what people only dare say in their kitchens and bedrooms.
Most of our traditions revolved around the kitchen, and the thing that stands out to me is my mom makes Turducken. Most people think it’s some kind of great myth in the world, but my mom makes it.
People in professional kitchens may love what they do, but sometimes it’s just something that puts food on the table.
When I’m doing kitchen planning as well as bathroom design, I try to walk through the day with the homeowner. If we’re talking about a kitchen, it will be: So, we are walking in with the groceries. When we are taking them out of the car, where will they go? What is the distance to fridge, to pantry?
I think a lot of people think being in the kitchen is being really serious, and especially that baking is very serious, very straitlaced. For me, it’s about figuring out your voice, finding your personality, and getting in the kitchen to explore.
I lived my whole life in the kitchen. Not only that, but it’s the passion, it’s the love for cooking and food. It’s dictated my entire life – every aspect of it.
The kitchen is a sacred space.
There’s always been music in my house growing up. In the kitchen, there’s a speaker, and we’d always have my mum’s iPod in it – she never makes food without listening to music. And I used to watch ‘Top of the Pops’ with my dad.
I competed in a test round of ‘Kitchen Casino.’ I feel like it’s good to know what the competitors are going through.

Their kitchen is their shrine, the cook their priest, the table their altar, and their belly their god.
It’s so fun to get creative with various colors in the kitchen. The challenge is finding how to get enough color without letting the flavor overpower – unless that’s what you want!

I love to design and remodel houses, from working with the contractors to picking the colours, materials, kitchen and bathroom accessories to finally what furniture goes where.

I think I am very fortunate to have my sister, who is always there to guide me and my food and lodging has been taken care of. Since my basic need of life is secure, when it comes to working, I never appeared like a desperate struggler who needs the job to run the kitchen.
I haven’t got a problem with scrutiny. If it gets hot in the kitchen, don’t cook a meal. People should be able to criticise us – it’s completely appropriate.
I’m good in the kitchen. I can cook seafood, collard greens, black-eyed peas.
I was chef to the French Presidents between ’56 and ’59, finished with de Gaulle, and during de Gaulle I remember serving Eisenhower, Nehru, Tito, Macmillan; those were the heads of state at the time. I never saw anyone. No one would ever, ever, ever come to the kitchen. You couldn’t even see them.
The scariest thing I ever did was give birth in the kitchen by myself, with my three-year-old bashing me on the head with a sword, but it’s not like you have a choice is it.
