An aphorism is nothing else but the slightest
QUOTES AND APHORISMS ON COOKING
Not on morality, but on cookery, let us build our stronghold: there brandishing our frying pan, as censer, let us offer sweet incense to the Devil, and live at ease on the fat things he has provided for his elect!
Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881, Scottish philosopher, author)
I don't even butter my bread; I consider that cooking.
Katherine Cebrian
If cooking becomes an art form rather than a means of providing a reasonable diet, then something is clearly wrong.
Tom Jaine
I did toy with the idea of doing a cookbook. The recipes were to be the routine ones: how to make dry toast, instant coffee, hearts of lettuce, and brownies. But as an added attraction, at no extra charge, my idea was to put a fried egg on the cover. I think a lot of people who hate literature but love fried eggs would buy it if the price was right.
Groucho Marx (1895-1977, American comic actor)
Kissing don't last: cookery does!
George Meredith (1828-1909, British author)
To the old saying that man built the house but woman made of it a "home" might be added the modern supplement that woman accepted cooking as a chore but man has made of it a recreation.
Emily Post (1873-1960, American hostess)
'Tis an ill cook that cannot lick his own fingers.
William Shakespeare (1564-1616, British poet, playwright, actor)
To make a good salad is to be a brilliant diplomat -- the problem is entirely the same in both cases. To know exactly how much oil one must put with one's vinegar.
Oscar Wilde (1856-1900, British author, wit)
There is no spectacle on earth more appealing than that of a beautiful woman in the act of cooking dinner for someone she loves.
Thomas Wolfe (1931-, American author, journalist)
