Random Quote

‘It is to be regretted that men of science do not interest themselves more than they do on a subject of such vast magnitude as [food]; for I feel confident that the food of a country might be increased at least one-third, if the culinary science was properly developed, instead of its being slighted as it is now.’ — Alexis Soyer (French chef. 4 February 1810 – 5 August 1858)
