"En cuisine, comme dans tous les arts, la simplicité est le signe de la perfection.”
Richard
Olney Simple French Food
Translated, this means: “In cooking, as in all arts, simplicity is the sign of perfection.” I was fortunate to grow up in remarkable—and simple—surroundings. In the small village where I was a boy there was an abundance of fruit trees, a goat for milk and cheese, honey bees, and olive trees for cured olives and olive oil. My first tastes were of pure foods and fresh flavors. My romantic side still tries to get back to that amazing experience with every dish I make.
