French Cook Quotes
“What shall we say of the hundreds of cooks who, for several centuries now, leave France every year to exploit the appetites of other lands?”
Jean-Antheleme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826)
The Physiology of Taste (1825)
“The only cooks in the civilized world are French cooks. . . . Other nations understand food in general; the French alone understand cooking, because all their qualities - promptitude, decision, tact - are employed in the art. No foreigner can make a good white sauce.”
Roqueplan (born Louis Victor Nestor Rocoplan) French journalist and theater administrator'La Vie parisienne'(1853)
