A Quote by Simon Schama

What is it to keep kosher? Is it eating kosher potato chips? Kosher is a bigger idea. I think it's about being healthy. But according to some people, it's about not eating this food because it's forbidden by the Jewish law. My view of the halachah changed a little bit. The laws are there hopefully to be a tool.

Matisyahu

I'm a very good dishwasher. I'm a terrible cook. I'm an awful cook.

Sinead O'Connor

I certainly don't live in a kosher home although I was raised in a kosher environment.

Leonard Nimoy

Manufacturers are making products kosher to get in on that market, plus more people are looking for kosher.

Larry Miller

I'm a big foodie but not much of a cook. I can cook desi stuff like dal, rice and chicken. I learnt to cook a little bit when I was in college and I used to cook for my friends. I'm not picky about food and eat all types of food, the type of cuisine doesn't matter as long as the food tastes good.

The processing and preparation of food can transform a kosher item into a non-kosher item.

Gil Marks

Kosher salt, eggs and flour. These are the building blocks of everything. Kosher salt, above and beyond everything.

My mother was really young when she had me, so she was a horrible cook, but we lived with my grandmother, who was fantastic. We eventually got our own place, and my mother started learning to cook. But it was also the '70s, so she was very experimental, and, well - thank God we had a dog.

Debi Mazar

I can cook a little bit. I can cook a few Spanish dishes. But, in movies, it looks like I cook much better than I cook.

Penelope Cruz

please don't cook me, kind sirs! I am a good cook myself, and cook better than I cook, if you see what I mean.

J. R. R. Tolkien

I can't cook! It's genetic. My grandmother can't cook, my mother can't cook. I was raised to believe you eat because your body needs fuel for energy, so I eat super foods.

Jada Pinkett Smith

I survived because I never took on big responsibilities in my private life. In the early days, I lived on two or three pounds a week and learned to cook - and I'm a good cook - because I had to. Even when I went on holiday, I stayed in other people's houses.

Cameron Mackintosh

People who like to cook like to talk about food....without one cook giving another cook a tip or two, human life might have died out a long time ago.

Laurie Colwin

I think it's very attractive when people cook. So I don't wear sweatpants. When you dress sexy to cook, too, it's like, damn, I got a girl who can cook and look like that? And I always have really cute aprons.
