Food Quotes/Steal Wolfgang's?

[Laura]

If you've seen Wolfgang Puck's show on the Food Network, you know he has
stenciled across the top of his kitchen: "Live Love Eat." I've been
wanting to do the same thing in my kitchen and have been looking for
some great food-related quotes. I am tempted to use Wolfgang's as it is
simple and to the point, but if anyone has any favorites they would care
to share, I'd appreciate hearing them. I ate at an Italian restaurant in
Scottsdale recently, and it had the following stenciled over its
kitchen, but seems a bit lengthy for me: "One cannot think well, love
well, live well, if one has not dined well."

How about "More eating and less noise!"

That's the motto of Albert the Puddin' in the classic Australian children's
book "The Magic Pudding", by Norman Lindsay. An animated version has just
been released, reportedly with good graphics and a wonderful voice cast, but
regrettably Disneyfied story. Get the book instead, it's a great yarn.

(By the way, that quote is from 'A Room of One's Own' by Virginia Woolf)

Some other short quotes:
**Curnonsky (adopted name of Maurice Edmond Sailland, French writer,
journalist and gastronome)
"Cuisine is when things taste like themselves."
"Make [food] simple and let things taste of what they are."

**Des Essarts (French actor in Comedie-Francaise)
"Good cookery is the food of a pure conscience."

**George Bernard Shaw (Man and Superman)
"There is no love sincerer than the love of food."

**Jonathan Swift
"He was a bold man that first eat an oyster."

**Kit Carson's dying words
"Wish I had time for just one more bowl of chili."

**Miguel de Cervantes (Don Quixote de la Mancha)
"There's no sauce in the world like hunger."

**Miss Piggy
"Never eat more than you can lift."

**Plato
"He was a wise man who invented beer."

**Sir Thomas Moore
"A man taking basil from a woman will love her always."

Janine:

I think you stated it yourself.
The quote is simple, elegant, and would look great stenciled in your
kitchen!

Here are a few cooking quotes I like:

"Cooking is love made visible."
-Anonymous

"Laughter is brightest where food is best."
- Irish Proverb

Ronald Reagan (really... I'm not kidding.):
"You can tell alot about a fellow's character by his way of eating
jellybeans."

You might not want to use that last one -- I just think it's funny.
