Wordgrove Post & Review

 

Quoted in The Grove:   Recipe

 

Shall I give you my recipe for happiness? I find everything useful and nothing indispensable. I find everything wonderful and nothing miraculous. I reverence the body. I avoid first causes like the plague.

~Norman Douglas

 

Happiness has a simple recipe. Cherish your dearest, welcome your nearest, admire the simplest, honor the littlest, ignore the meaningless.

~Olarewaju Oladipo

 

The discovery of a new dish does more for human happiness than the discovery of a new star.

~Anthelme Brillat-Savarin

 

EndQuote:

Recipe For Happiness Khaborovsk Or Anyplace: One grand boulevard with trees with one grand cafe in sun with strong black coffee in very small cups. One not necessarily very beautiful man or woman who loves you. One fine day.

I can cook really complicated recipes, but it takes a real talent to do the perfect egg.

~Christine Teigen

 

But for the time being, I’ve only learned one cake recipe and how to make scrambled eggs.

~Eva Herzigova

 

I’m brilliant at cooking my stepmother’s scrambled egg recipe. The secret is to put eggs, butter, milk, and seasoning together in the saucepan, and to keep stirring with a wooden spoon under a low heat until the preferred consistency is reached.

~Ian Mckellen

 

~

 

A good recipe for a human reducing breakfast is a lot of good things to eat, and three spaniels and two cats to eat with.

~Gladys Taber

 

British food is a celebration of comfort eating. Our traditional savoury recipes are all about warmth and sustenance, our puddings a roll call of sweet jollity, our cakes are deep and cosy. We appear to be a nation in need of a big, warm hug.

~Nigel Slater

I’d love to say I’m an accomplished cook, but I don’t have any signature dishes. I’m good at breakfast — I make great eggs. My father gave me a little recipe. It’s all in the seasoning. But it’s a Greek secret. I won’t give it away!

~Jennifer Aniston

 

I love cooking. My Italian mother is a genius cook, and I picked that up from her. I make my own sauce, which takes four hours, from a recipe that’s been refined over many years. I won’t tell anybody what it is.

~Josh Fox

Tomatoes and oregano make it Italian; wine and tarragon make it French. Sour cream makes it Russian; lemon and cinnamon make it Greek. Soy sauce makes it Chinese; garlic makes it good.

~Alice May Brock

 

Yogurt sauce, as you may have noticed by now, is a regular presence in my recipes – that’s because it has the ability to round up so many flavours and textures like no other component does.

~Yotam Ottolenghi

 

Sour, sweet, bitter, pungent—all must be tasted.

~Chinese Proverb

Believing that you must do something perfectly is a recipe for stress, and you’ll associate that stress with the task and thus condition yourself to avoid it

~Steve Pavlina

 

Trying to do it all and expecting that it all can be done exactly right is a recipe for disappointment. Perfection is the enemy.

~Sheryl Sandberg

 

Mastering one recipe is better than mastering too many. Learn something and own it, and you’ll feel so much better about it. You’ll have more confidence if you’ve made it five times, and that confidence adds so much fun to cooking.

~Tom Douglas

 

Repetition is the mother of perfection. If there is true perfection, it’s about doing something over and over again. I truly think that if somebody does a recipe they’ve never done before and gets it right, they’re probably more lucky than they are talented.

~Thomas Keller

 

If you’re doing a recipe on national television, there’s really no room for being sloppy or a nonperfectionist.

~Martha Stewart

 

~

 

Trying to guess what the (mass) audience wants and then trying to satisfy that is usually a bad recipe for getting something good.

~Aaron Sorkin

 

I always see what’s… wrong. Would you want that? When I see a car or a rocket or spacecraft, I only see what’s wrong. I never see what’s right. It’s not a recipe for happiness.

~Elon Musk

 

When what you do and care about is aligned with what the market wants and cares about, you’ve created a recipe for career success.

~Lisa Gansky

 

I was sixty-six years old. I still had to make a living. I looked at my social security check of 105 dollars and decided to use that to try to franchise my chicken recipe. Folks had always liked my chicken.

~Colonel Sanders

 

The two worst strategic mistakes to make are acting prematurely and letting an opportunity slip; to avoid this, the warrior treats each situation as if it were unique and never resorts to formulae, recipes or other people’s opinions.

We cannot tax the same people we expect to create jobs. That is a recipe for keeping people out of work.

~Martha Roby

 

The gap between rich and poor is, in fact, widening enormously. This idea of building up the powers of people who are already powerful and keeping everyone else back is a recipe for endless misery and conflict.

~Robert Wyatt

 

Unequal group rights, the politics of redistribution and a Constitution whose meaning varies with changeable coalitions are a recipe for civil war.

~Paul Craig Roberts

 

The key ingredient of politics is the idea that all of society’s ills can be cured politically. It’s like a cookbook where the recipe for everything is to fry it. The fruit cocktail is fried.

~P J O’Rourke

 

Don’t follow a model that doesn’t work. If the recipe sucks, it doesn’t matter how good a cook you are.

~Tim Ferriss

 

~

 

Owning your own home is America’s unique recipe for avoiding revolution and promoting pseudo-equality at the same time.

~Florence King

 

My own recipe for world peace is a bit of land for everyone.

~Gladys Taber

 

~

 

Americans treat history like a cookbook. Whenever they are uncertain what to do next, they turn to history and look up the proper recipe, invariably designated “the lesson of history.

~Russell Baker

 

History is not, of course, a cookbook offering pretested recipes. It teaches by analogy, not by maxims. It can illuminate the consequences of actions in comparable situations, yet each generation must discover for itself what situations are in fact comparable.

~Henry A Kissinger

 

~

 

Just because I am a chef doesn’t mean I don’t rely on fast recipes. Indeed, we all have moments when, pressed for time, we’ll use a can of tuna and a tomato for a first course. It’s a question of choosing the right recipes for the rest of the menu.

~Jacques Pepin

 

When you serve lobster, you’ve taken a being’s life away. Therefore if you create a recipe, you have to be very dedicated to elevate the lobster, to make it good and tasty of course, but at the end of the day it’s a matter of paying homage.

~Eric Ripert

Outside sleep’s open window, between the drops of rain,

history is writing a recipe book for every earthly pain.

Science means simply the aggregate of all the recipes that are always successful. All the rest is literature.

~Paul Valery

 

The best sculptor is the one who can most accurately reproduce in marble the image that he sees before him. The good cook follows the recipe. The pharmacist can utilize the many years of training of the most famous doctors from the best medical schools, if he just knows how to follow a prescription. Someone has said that science is just a collection of successful formulas.

~Sterling W Sill

 

I’m really a scientist. I follow recipes exactly – until I decide not to. And then I’ll follow something else exactly. I may decide I could turn this peach tart into a plum tart, but if I’m following a recipe, I follow it exactly.

~Ina Garten

 

~

 

An algorithm is like a recipe.

~Muhammad Waseem

 

Computer programming is really a lot like writing a recipe. If you’ve read a recipe, you know what the structure of a recipe is, it’s got some things up at the top that are your ingredients, and below that, the directions for how to deal with those ingredients.

~Larry Wall

 

~

 

I love the idea of cooking, but I don’t like using recipe books, so I’ll put a mish-mash together, and it might be amazing by total accident, or it will be a catastrophe.

~Trinny Woodall

 

I have no recipe for how to combine things. But you must be sincere. And if you are, strangely, it will succeed.

~Andree Putman

 

The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.

A cookbook must have recipes, but it shouldn’t be a blueprint. It should be more inspirational; it should be a guide.

~Thomas Keller

 

Oddly, though, lists are reassuring. We become aware of this if we scrupulously follow a recipe, which is essentially a list of ingredients and actions; but if we give this ‘list’ too much importance, we leave no room for the imagination.

~Jean-Claude Ellena

 

A recipe is not meant to be followed exactly – it is a canvas on which you can embroider.

~Roger Verge

 

Recipes are not assembly manuals. Recipes are guides and suggestions for a process that is infinitely nuanced. Recipes are sheet music.

~Michael Ruhlman

 

I’m going to break one of the rules of the trade here. I’m going to tell you some of the secrets of improvisation. Just remember, it’s always a good idea to follow the directions exactly the first time you try a recipe. But from then on, you’re on your own.

~James Beard

 

The first time you make something, follow the recipe, then figure out how to tailor it to your own tastes.

~Ruth Reichl

 

Omit and substitute! That’s how recipes should be written. Please don’t ever get so hung up on published recipes that you forget that you can omit and substitute.

~Jeff Smith

MUSIC:

 

Once you start cooking, one thing leads to another. A new recipe is as exciting as a blind date. A new ingredient, heaven help me, is an intoxicating affair.

~Barbara Kingsolver

 

In the daylight, order ruled, fences stood, how-do-you-do’s and polite nods were the recipe. But at night, darkness rendered everything still and hush and secret. Minnie was a curator of secrets.

~Kiersten White

 

~

 

The major ingredient of any recipe for fear is the unknown.

~Michael Jackson

 

Fear has made them sloppy. The world teeters at a precipice. All scared to take a step in case they put a foot into empty air. The instinct of self-preservation. It can destroy a man’s efficiency.

~Joe Abercrombie

 

The only real stumbling block is fear of failure. In cooking you’ve got to have a what-the-hell attitude.

~Julia Child

 

Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all.

~Harriet Van Horne

 

In my food world, there is no fear or guilt, only joy and balance. So no ingredient is ever off-limits. Rather, all of the recipes here follow my Usually-Sometimes-Rarely philosophy. Notice there is no Never.

One of the hard lessons to learn in life is that there are some things you can control and some things you can’t. If you want a short recipe for being frustrated and miserable, this is it: focus on things you can’t control.

~John Bytheway

 

If there is one recipe for unhappiness it is that: expectations.

~Yasmin Mogahed

 

~

 

One of the things that often frustrates me with cookbooks is that there are one or two recipes that are really good and the rest of them are not so great.

~Alicia Silverstone

 

I always hated watching cooking shows where the chef would use ingredients that I couldn’t get my hands on, cooking implements that I couldn’t afford, recipes that I could never have access to.

~Adam Richman

 

A cookbook is only as good as its poorest recipe.

~Julia Child

 

~

 

There is no single recipe for success. But there is one essential ingredient: Passion

~Martha Stewart

 

The emptiness of your pocket is not a recipe for you to discount the value of your passion!

~Israelmore Ayivor

 

You have to have passion when you’re finding a recipe for a career. If you love what you are doing, you’ll never work a day in your life.

~Debbi Fields

 

My personal recipe for success is- Do what you love and don’t look at the clock.

Guys wake up at your place and they expect breakfast. They don’t eat bagels and M&M’s in the morning. They want things like toast. I say, ‘I don’t have these recipes.’

~Elayne Boosler

 

Martha Stewart published her recipe for disaster — mix one part arrogance with two parts incompetence, simmer in the juices and then serve hot in the can.

~Jay Leno

 

America ships tons of sugar cookies to Denmark and Denmark ships tons of sugar cookies to America. Wouldn’t it be more efficient just to swap recipes?

I kinda expected to turn the bottle and see a recipe. “So that’s how you make ice cubes. Apparently you just freeze this stuff. Oh, but you need a tray. That’s how they trick you into it.”

~Jim Gaffigan

 

Here is my recipe for a mood enhancer. Take a friend, preferably one with a really annoying fringe and outsize pants, and when she is rambling on, swiftly push her into a ditch and run away.

~Louise Rennison

 

The key, I would say to any fledgling humorist starting out, is to make sure that sloppiness is part of your recipe. That way they come to expect fumbling and clumsiness and they say, “Oh, it must be a charming part of his personality.”

~Nick Offerman

 

They say the recipe for Sprite is lemon and lime. I tried to make it at home. There’s more to it than that.

~Mitch Hedberg

 

If an architect makes a mistake, he grows ivy to cover it. If a doctor makes a mistake, he covers it with soil. If a cook makes a mistake, he covers it with some sauce and says it is a new recipe.

~Paul Bocuse

 

There is one thing more exasperating than a wife who can cook and won’t, and that’s a wife who can’t cook and will.

It’s always good to go over the recipe beforehand, so you can easily think of the next thing that needs to be done.

~Guy Fieri

 

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.

~Grant Achatz

 

Always look for the best ingredients, treat the food you cook with respect, always read the entire recipe first, be organized, and have fun.

Scratching people where they itch and addressing their ‘felt needs’ is a stratagem of the poor steward of the oracles of God. This was the recipe for success for the false prophets of the Old Testament.

If there would be a recipe for a poem, these would be the ingredients: word sounds, rhythm, description, feeling, memory, rhyme, and imagination. They can be put together a thousand different ways, a thousand, thousand…more.

It may not be the recipe for a life of contentment, but that imperfectability is what makes writing such an engaging endeavor, something you can do for the rest of your life and not get bored.

~Debra Dean

 

Second novels are bears. As are other people’s expectations for them. I think taking the time you need with the second book is key. Writers spend years and years on their first novels and then are often expected to turn out a second at warp speed, a recipe for failure.

Creating characters is like throwing together ingredients for a recipe. I take characteristics I like and dislike in real people I know, or know of, and use them to embellish and define characters.

Do Unto Others…

 

Thus begins the rule we’re taught in school

But there be bronze and silver versions too

Durable Bronze Rule: Do unto others before they do unto you

Applies to gifts as well a swords; one may be used to deflect the other

 

Sterling Silver Rule: Do unto others as they do unto you

Making the effort on your behalf is an expression of their interest and a compliment; continue doing your best

 

Weightier Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you

Those tired of this heavier, more burdensome requirement, sometimes use the conditional word, would, as their finely-argued escape clause. Only the earnest need apply
