Simon Says: Daily Food Quote, September 20, 2012
Do not be afraid to talk about food. Food which is worth eating is worth discussing. And there is the occult power of words which somehow will develop its qualities.–X. Marcel Boulestin, Simple French Cooking for English Homes 1923
Xavier Marcel Boulestin was a French chef, restaurateur and the author of cookbooks that popularized French cuisine to the English-speaking world. The Restaurant Boulestin, known as the most expensive in London, opened in 1927. Its fame, and the long series of books and articles that Boulestin wrote, made him a celebrity. Among those influenced by Boulestin was the English cooking expert Elizabeth David, who praised Boulestin in her writings, and adopted many of his ideas.

by Renu Chhabra
If people take the trouble to cook, you should take the trouble to eat.–Robert Morley
It is hard to find someone who does not like potato.
From french fries, latkes, croquettes, gratins, fritters, hash browns, salads, to soups and stews — the list is endless. Most of us have our favorite potato dish or two.
This starchy tuber may seem like a very humble commodity, but is definitely celebrated in kitchens around the globe. Americans, Italians, Indians, French, or Irish — they all have their potato specialties making it difficult to ignore its place in the gastronomic arena.
My recent visit to India confirmed its importance even more.

If you were to ask me if I’d ever had the bad luck to miss my daily cocktail, I’d have to say that I doubt it; where certain things are concerned, I plan ahead.–Luis Buñuel
The New York Times was a Spanish-born Mexican filmmaker who worked in Spain, Mexico, France and the United States. When he died at age 83, his obituary in The New York Times called him “an iconoclast, moralist and revolutionary who was a leader of avant-garde surrealism in his youth and a dominant international movie director half a century later.”
