Blessed Food Quotes

“Cooks are in some ways very much like actors; they must be fit and strong, since acting and cooking are two of the most exacting professions. They must be blessed - or cursed, whichever way you care to look at it - with what is called the artistic temperament, which means that if they are to act or cook at all well, it cannot be for duds or dummies.”
Andre Simon (1877-1970)
‘The Concise Encyclopedia of Gastronomy’ (1952)

“Blessed relief for Mother and the other women in the household!”
Heinz slogan when it introduced the commercial version of ketchup in 1876.

Angelo Pellegrini, 'The Unprejudiced Palate' (1948)

 

“But I, when I undress me
Each night, upon my knees
