Dharma is the Truth that all of existence is. It does not disagree with anything. It is the perception of existence in its purest formlessness.
I adore pigs, and I love eating them and cooking them, and I love using the whole animal.
Always look for the best ingredients, treat the food you cook with respect, always read the entire recipe first, be organized, and have fun.
I became a manager very young. My first sous chef job I was, maybe, 25. It was a bit too early for me. But it's on-the-job training. You really just get stuck in there and it's trial and error. You learn by your mistakes, and hopefully you don't keep making them. And if you do, you just keep trying to fix it.
I love to roast vegetables - carrots, fennel, and so on. I also love to mash or puree pretty much any vegetable!
Food's delicate. You have to handle it with finesse. You can't just be a big ogre.
I don't think of being a woman in an industry of men. I didn't walk into the kitchen and go, 'Ooh, I'm a girl!' I didn't get into my chosen profession. I wanted to be good at something.
Most women at retirement have significantly less money than men, and they still get paid less than men. I'm sure that in my reptile brain I'm quite conscious of this.
Our great mistake is to try to exact from each person virtues which he does not possess, and to neglect the cultivation of those which he has.
Maybe he just looks good compared to the bores he's running against.
When a decision has to be made, make it. There is no totally right time for anything.
