Paul Prudhomme

“Don't cover up the taste of the food with a lot of seasoning. Let the food speak for itself.”

“When the taste changes with every bite and the last bite is as good as the first, that's Cajun.”

“The first rule of Louisiana cooking is, 'If you can eat it, we can cook it'.”

“I was a lousy cook. I couldn't boil water.”

“We're not going to be the first to discover the cure for cancer. We're not going to put a man on the moon. But we can cook.”

“Cooking is an art, but all art requires knowing something about the techniques and materials.”

“You don't need a silver fork to eat good food.”

“Good cooking is all about passion, from the heart.”

“I like to see people happy and I like to feed them.”
