By the time a meal I'm preparing rolls around, I'm usually so full from tasting that I'm not hungry any more.

I have this nook at Milk Bar that's my office, and my desk was just full of every box of Kellogg's cereal, and at different times during the day, I would open up a box, eat a bowl of cereal, and I live in a world of Post-it notes, so I would leave tasting notes on all the cereal.

I love coffee. It's one of my favorite things in the world, and I love tasting different coffees.

Going to Southeast Asia for the first time and tasting that spectrum of flavors - that certainly changed my whole palate, the kind of foods I crave. A lot of the dishes I used to love became boring to me.

I can remember tasting cheese and onion crisps when they first came on the market - they were the most amazing thing ever.

Before he died, my dad had three primary cancers over 20 years, and for four of those years, he was having chemo every day. We got used to sitting as a family at the table and him not to be able to taste what we were tasting.

Yellow fin or albacore are excellent tasting, or the dolphin fish but I don't mean the mammal variety. They call It mahimahi in Hawaii.

Tasting failure, even when you truly believe in a project, is a critical part of the growth process.

The gimmicks that have driven the fast food sector for years - dollar menus, limited time offers, and merchandising partnerships - are not producing results like they used to, as consumers simply want better tasting, nutritious food and a more compelling experience, not gimmicks.

To me, you make a tradeoff. It might be a little bit more expensive. But you're getting a better tasting, higher quality food that's going to be better for your health and better for the environment.

If you're trying to make a recipe that you're not even going to bother tasting, you're doing something wrong.

I've never said I was a chef - I think I make great food. I will never open a restaurant to do, like, tasting courses.

Scarcely one person in a thousand is capable of tasting the happiness of others.

I know pastry chefs who are overwhelmed by the idea of tasting, rather than measuring, their way to a balanced vinaigrette.

When you taste super-success after tasting super-failure, there is huge relief.

Turn the preparing of food into a communal affair by enlisting others to help with the chopping, grating, stirring, simmering, tasting and seasoning. When the cooking is finished, eat together round the table with the electronic gadgets switched off so you can savor the food and let the conversation flow.
