"The preparation of good food is merely another expression of art, one of the joys of civilized living"
Dione Lucas
"Cooking is an art and patience a virtue... Careful shopping, fresh ingredients and an unhurried approach are nearly all you need. There is one more thing - love. Love for food and love for those you invite to your table. With a combination of these things you can be an artist - not perhaps in the representational style of a Dutch master, but rather more like Gauguin, the naïve, or Van Gogh, the impressionist. Plates or pictures of sunshine taste of happiness and love."
Keith Floyd, A Feast of Floyd
"The art of dining well is no slight art, the pleasure no slight pleasure."
Michel Eyquem de Montaigne, French essayist (1533-1592) 'Essays' (1580-1588)
“Cookery is become an art, a noble science; cooks are gentlemen.”
Robert Burton, English cleric and writer, (1577-1640)
