I'm the child of immigrants, and there was always a garage filled with food, just in case, and you kept money under the mattress. You were always prepared, because you couldn't trust that you were being taken care of. So that translated into my life into a lot of opportunity hoarding.
— Samin Nosrat
I always turn to Wendell Berry for inspiration on food, community, agriculture, and, well, just being a human.
The temperatures required for caramelization and browning almost always far exceed the boiling point of water. So the presence of water on the surface of a food, or on the bottom of a pan, is a signal that browning can't yet occur.
I've always joked that my food memoirs will be titled 'Brutta ma Buona,' the phrase Italians use to describe food that's delicious but rustic-looking at best: ugly but good.
I worry about Zimbabweans. They bend, they bend, they bend, they bend - where do the people break? How long can they go on scrounging for food in garbage dumps and using the moisture from sewage drains to plant vegetables?
— Samantha Power
I went to bed last night dreaming of tuna melts. I love food.
— Sam Smith
When I feel stressed, I turn to food for comfort, but I don't like to diet and I'm not good at it.
— Salma Hayek
Love food and I love to eat.
I also think it's very important to consider how the food will feel to the person eating it.
— Sally Schneider
The food isn't too bad. It's very different from the food that the astronauts ate in the very early days of the space program.
— Sally Ride
There is a daily discussion with our servants about the price of food and the number of loaves: a conference with our presbyters to consider the sins of our people is a very rare occurrence.
— Saint Bernard
God created the universe in such a manner that all in common might derive their food from it, and that the Earth should also be a property common to all.
— Saint Ambrose
If I am in London I like a quick get away to The Olde Bell in Hurley... It's nearby and no stress - great food and beautiful walks.
— Sadie Frost
The people are more important than the food. We want a person to be as successful as he can be, and it works the other way around, too.
— S. Truett Cathy
Because I've got veneers, I am always checking to make sure I haven't got food in my teeth.
— Rylan Clark-Neal
I started eating healthier. I actually gave up fast food. I gave up candy and potato chips and everything else. I started watching what I ate.
— Ryan Lochte
I get up just before six and come downstairs, put food out for the cats, and open the cat flap. Then I work out for 35 or 40 minutes - I have a very large bathroom with an elliptical cross-trainer and a bicycle.
— Ruth Rendell
There are so many food shows, really beautiful ones, that exist to elevate professional cooking and professional chefs. But there aren't that many that really celebrate home cooking or are for home cooks especially.
I grew up in San Diego with immigrant parents, before the food blogs, before this kind of celebrity chef culture we know now.
It's easy to discount water's importance in the kitchen. After all, it has no flavor, and more often than not, it's left off ingredient lists, making it seem like an afterthought. Yet water is an essential element of almost everything we cook and eat, and it affects the flavor and texture of all our food.
Salt has a greater impact on flavor than any other ingredient. Learn to use it well, and food will taste good.
It's fantastic to strive towards a nice life where you eat nice organic food and your children go to a nice school and you can afford nice clothes and nice perfume and the hypoallergenic make-up. But there's never a day goes by, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, that I don't think about where I'm from.
— Samantha Morton
Food is my favourite thing in the world. I always say if I ate what I actually wanted to eat I'd be in one of those electronic scooters because I'd be too big.
I love to cook when I have the time. I don't cook French or Mexican food with exact recipes. I just go to the supermarket and buy things that look good, and I mix it all together and invent something. Ninety-five percent of the time, I'm lucky. Sometimes not so lucky, and I say, 'Let's go out to dinner.'
Years down the line, I became a food stylist.
But all that being said about modulation, if you're serving people delicious food, they won't complain.
When it becomes hard for me not to eat bad food, I try to think about what I have to do and what is ahead of me and what I want to achieve.
— Sally Pearson
Now, if you notice how the swan, putting its neck down into the deep water, brings up food for itself from below, then you will discover the wisdom of the Creator, in that He gave it a neck longer than its feet for this reason, that it might, as if lowering a sort of fishing line, procure the food hidden in the deep water.
— Saint Basil
I don't have a huge breakfast, and I sometimes forget to have lunch, so I focus on dinner. I love Thai and Japanese food.
— Saffron Aldridge
Whatever I'm doing, I'm in that moment and I'm doing it. The rest of the world's lost. If I'm cooking some food or making soup, I want it to be lovely. If not, what's the point of doing it?
— Sade Adu
In Hollywood they're getting younger, but believe me, it's not the food. It's the plastic surgery.
— S. Jay Olshansky
A producer is someone who actually calls the shots. An executive producer is just a guy that eats more food at craft service.
— Ryan Reynolds
If you start eating with your mouth open - I can't stand it! I was out to dinner with a girl, and she started chomping on her food. You could see everything she was eating. I was like, 'So when do you want to go home?'
— Ryan Guzman
People do sometimes ask me some really idiotic questions: 'Is your husband afraid of you putting arsenic in his food?' I replied that I have never written a book about poison, ever.
I grew up eating and loving Persian food, going to school, and everyone making fun of me.
I could probably go on for a long time about the differences between Northern California and Southern California Mexican food.
While a pot of boiling water may not offer the char or smoke of a grill, it does give the cook an advantage when it comes to seasoning food.
I think it's very important to be mindful of your body and actually listen to it. If I'm craving a certain kind of food, I'll have, but I notice when I'm full. It's kind of like a logical diet. I think when people go on restrictive diets, they put too much stress on themselves, which might make them prone to bingeing.
— Samara Weaving
I'm a vegetarian and have been since I was about four because I struggled to separate the idea of the animal from the food.
— Samantha Barks
As a child in the early 1980s, I tended to talk with things in my mouth - food, dentist's tubes, balloons that would fly away, whatever - and if no one else was around, I'd talk anyway.
— Sam Kean
Everybody has a weakness. Mine is food.
I had all kinds of food issues, including health concerns and weight concerns.
Confit is the ultimate comfort food, and trendy or not, it is dazzling stuff.
Louisiana was as close to South Asia as the United States could get: it had spicy food, humidity, giant cockroaches, and a corrupt government.
— Sal Khan
First and foremost, the monk should own nothing in this world, but he should have as his possessions solitude of the body, modesty of bearing, a modulated tone of voice, and a well-ordered manner of speech. He should be without anxiety as to his food and drink, and should eat in silence.
I watched the 'Food, Inc.' documentary and was like, 'This has opened my eyes to the meat industry - maybe I should go vegetarian.' And my friend told me, 'Sadie, you're not gonna last a week.' But I'm very competitive.
— Sadie Sink
In fantasy and science fiction, world-building is an essential part of the story. But as a reader, I don't just want descriptions of food, clothing, and places. I want to understand the world to its core, through the eyes of those who live in it.
— Sabaa Tahir
Fixing obesity is going to require a change in our modern relationship with food. I'm hopeful that we begin to see a turnaround in this childhood obesity epidemic.
When I was growing up, I was eating fast food every day. I'd drink soda non-stop, candy, just everything. It was horrible. My go-to was McDonald's, for sure.
We'll continue to heal human bodies through biotechnology but we'll also increasingly feed, clothe and house the world through bioengineered systems. Ultimately, there's no reason why live animals should be used in any part of our food or goods chain and we're working to make that a reality.
— Ryan Bethencourt
