I'm a filmmaker who decided to go to culinary school. All I picked up was the fact if I didn't understand what was going on with every single ingredient, I could be qualifying for, like, the lunch food job at my daughter's school.

I am a filmmaker. That is all I've ever been. You know, Martin Scorsese makes films about the mob. And I make movies about food.

Do not allow watching food to replace making food.

Keep it simple in the kitchen. If you use quality ingredients, you don't need anything fancy to make food delicious: just a knife, a cutting board, and some good nonstick cookware, and you're set.

I hate menus, I hate choosing food. I just want to be brought. Bring me dinner!

Food - I love nuts. I eat them all the time, they're easy to carry around, and I am never hungry all day long.

Most food you drop is still perfectly edible. If it was in your eyesight the whole time, you can pick it up and eat it.

There are a lot of food Nazis in the U.S., but I believe if you can show people what's really important, they'll judge the rest for themselves.

Food is no longer sacred to us: in becoming too efficient we've changed its nature.

I think wine is such a big universe that it's kind of like food - it's intimidating to a lot of people, myself included.
