People have all this interest in food. But for most people, it’s a mystery how to prepare food. I wanted the knowledge cooks know: the in-your-fingers knowledge you get by doing it over and over. (Bill Buford Quotes)
The first glimpse I had of what Mario Batali’s friends had described to me as the ‘myth of Mario’ was on a cold Saturday night in January 2002, when I invited him to a birthday dinner. (Bill Buford Quotes)

Most chartreuse recipes call for one bird, a fat one, like a pigeon or a partridge, secreted inside the casing, a vegetable mold, which is then turned out onto a plate. (Bill Buford Quotes)

The most important knowledge is understanding what you can’t do (Bill Buford Quotes)
The family is the essential presence, the thing that never leaves you, even if you find you have to leave it (Bill Buford Quotes)
You don’t learn knife skills at cooking school, because they give you only six onions and no matter how hard you focus on those six onions there are only six, and you’re not going to learn as much as when you cut up a hundred (Bill Buford Quotes)
You can’t do traditional work at a modern pace. Traditional work has traditional rhythms. You need calm. You can be busy, but you must remain calm (Bill Buford Quotes)
Food made by hand is an act of defiance and runs contrary to everything in our modernity. Find it; eat it; it will go. It has been around for millennia. Now it is evanescent, like a season (Bill Buford Quotes)
