It takes a little time, but the pleasures of cooking begin before the pleasures of the palate, and preparing means anticipating.

Umberto Eco

There are as many attitudes to cooking as there are people cooking, of course, but I do think that cooking guys tend - I am a guilty party here - to take, or get, undue credit for domestic virtue, when in truth cooking is the most painless and, in its ways, ostentatious of the domestic chores.

Adam Gopnik

Depending on where you live, cooking, sex and pooping are either 3 of life's pleasures or what kills you

Bill Gates

Cooking and baking are pleasures and I want everyone to be able to experience and share them.

Dorie Greenspan

Pleasures. I had to cut them back so I can write. And it's worked! It so has. But I am the most boring human on the planet.

Tanya Saracho

I begin where most people end, with a full conviction of the emptiness of all sorts of ambition, and the unsatisfactory nature of all human pleasures.

Cooking, decorating, diet/self-help and gardening books are guilty pleasures and useful time fillers.

Hillary Clinton

The being who, for most men, is the source of the most lively, and even, be it said, to the shame of philosophical delights, the most lasting joys; the being towards or for whom all their efforts tend for whom and by whom fortunes are made and lost; for whom, but especially by whom, artists and poets compose their most delicate jewels; from whom flow the most enervating pleasures and the most enriching sufferings - woman, in a word, is not, for the artist in general... only the female of the human species. She is rather a divinity, a star.

Charles Baudelaire

One of the secrets, and pleasures, of cooking is to learn to correct something if it goes awry; and one of the lessons is to grin and bear it if it cannot be fixed.

Julia Child

Most of cooking is the labor of chopping. Give yourself a break. Pretend you're on a cooking show and have all your ingredients lined up for you.

Padma Lakshmi

One of life's most over-valued pleasures is sexual intercourse; of one of life's least appreciated pleasures in defecation.

Mark Twain

Most wine knowledge does not directly enhance the pleasures to be had in drinking wine but, rather, enhances one's ability to discover such pleasures

Kent Bach

What good does it do to have all the riches of the world and all the world's pleasures? They will all disappear in the flash we call a human lifetime. Focusing on the pleasures of the world keeps the mind too distracted to search for the inner Self.

Rama Swami

For the most part this is a place to find down-to-earth advice on everyday cooking, eating, food shopping, cooking equipment, and nice things to put on your table.
