Talent Food Quotes

“Without the assistance of eating and drinking, the most sparkling wit would be as heavy as a bad soufflé, and the brightest talent as dull as a looking-glass on a foggy day.”
Alexis Soyer 19th century French chef
‘The Modern Housewife’ (1851)

“Sauces comprise the honor and glory of French cookery.  They have contributed to its superiority, or pre-eminence, which is disputed by none.  Sauces are the orchestration and accompaniment of a fine meal, and enable a good chef or cook to demonstrate his talent.”
Curnonsky (1872-1956)

“Everyone has the talent to some degree: even making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, you know whether it tastes better to you with raspberry jam or grape jelly; on chewy pumpernickel or white toast.”
Anna Shapiro, 'A Feast of Words' (1996)
