“Writing doesn't come easily to me. It gets more and more difficult.”

“Everyday holds the possibility of a miracle.”

“I'm very interested in my new kitchen equipment shop. I've started it with two friends.”

“An awful lot of people think it's easy to lift recipes out.”

“I don't copy recipes without trying them out. I don't reprint without trying them again.”

“To eat figs off the tree in the very early morning, when they have been barely touched by the sun, is one of the exquisite pleasures of the Mediterranean.”
