Grant Achatz Quotes

In a lot of ways, a lot of smells that aren’t necessarily edible smell good, and they remind you of certain aspects of food. So making those associations with what smells good or smells a certain way and pairing that with actual edible ingredients is one avenue that we take creatively Picture Quote #1

I don’t care if you’re doing haute cuisine or burgers and pizza, just do it right Picture Quote #1

I lived my whole life in the kitchen. Not only that, but it’s the passion, it’s the love for cooking and food. It’s dictated my entire life - every aspect of it Picture Quote #1

If I had one piece of advice for people - if they are cooking from the Alinea cookbook, the Betty Crocker cookbook or the back of the box - read through the entire recipe first before reaching for any ingredients, and then read again and execute the directions Picture Quote #1

A cookbook is not like being an author. It’s writing down recipes; it’s not writing Picture Quote #1

I was a completely below-average high school student. I never went to college Picture Quote #1

To me, every kitchen appliance is useful and nothing’s overrated. When I look at my little espresso machine, I don’t see coffee. I see a steaming valve as an opportunity to make amazing creme brulee Picture Quote #1

Here’s the irony in what I do: When I go out to eat, I like classic French food. I like amazing Japanese food that has such a history that it goes back hundreds of years. And I also like really innovative food as well Picture Quote #1

Alinea is not the type of restaurant where you go if you’re in a hurry. Really, it’s about enjoying that three-hour block of time and reflecting on the food, having great conversation with your dining companion Picture Quote #1

The popularity of the Internet and using it as an available resource has really changed the way chefs kind of gather information and look for inspiration. To me, a food trend is potentially a lot of people following an idea Picture Quote #1

People like to think the creative process is romantic. The artist drifts to sleep at night, to be awakened by the subliminal echoes of his or her next brilliant idea. The truth, for me at least, is that creativity is primarily the result of hard work and study Picture Quote #1

My home kitchen is airy, with a gas stove, a stainless-steel island table in the center and granite countertops. It’s very modest but there’s tons of counter space, so you can slap down three or four cutting boards Picture Quote #1

My life has been such a blur since I was 18, 19 years old. I haven’t even had time to contemplate my own life. By forcing yourself to write your life story you learn a great deal about yourself Picture Quote #1

Whatever it is you’re doing, whether it’s your career or a particular focus, if you’re trying to be the best you can possibly be, then you’ll be putting that pressure on yourself Picture Quote #1

Food can be expressive and therefore food can be art Picture Quote #1

To me, every kitchen appliance is useful and nothing’s overrated. When I look at my little espresso machine, I don’t see coffee. I see a steaming valve as an opportunity to make amazing creme brulee Picture Quote #1

Anything that could ever prevent me from achieving a goal, I put in a box, tape it up, throw it over my shoulder. You aim for a goal and attain it. Then you look to the next one Picture Quote #1

We all eat two to six times a day. Why? Because we are supposed to, we are programmed to, we want to Picture Quote #1

Most smoked salts are made with liquid smoke, which is a condensate, but really, really good smoked salt is literally smoked Picture Quote #1

I hate stuff in my pockets, can’t stand it. I’ll carry stuff in my hands rather than put it in my pockets Picture Quote #1

My personality was always such that I always look straight forward, never behind or to the side Picture Quote #1

Part of becoming a little bit older and having the opportunities that I have, you want to start giving back to people who have been influential and helped you along the way Picture Quote #1
