" I crack my brains to find out tempting sauces".
" Cook, see all your sauces.
Be sharp and poynant in the palate, that they may,
Commend you; look to your roast and baked meats handsomely, And what new kickshaws and delicate made things".
- Beaumont and Fletcher.
"We may live without poetry, music, and art; We may live without conscience, and live without heart; We may live without friends; we may live without books;
But civilized man cannot live without cooks".
"The turnpike road to people's hearts I find,
Lies through their mouths, or I mistake mankind".
Peter Pinder.
"I own that nothing like good chew succeeds".
"When dinner has opprest one,
I think it is perhaps the gloomiest hour Which turns "up out of the sad twenty-four.
Byron. Lord Lytton.
