Danh ngôn của Anne Burrell (Sứ mệnh: 5)

I started in the restaurant business at the age of 19 as a waitress. I loved the atmosphere and the camaraderie of the restaurant business. I loved not having to go to an office. I loved making people happy.
I love the simplicity, the ingredients, the culture, the history and the seasonality of Italian cuisine. In Italy people do not travel. They cook the way grandma did, using fresh ingredients and what is available in season.
I'm a girl, and I'm a cook- I just like to cook, and I don't like to worry about the distinctions. We're just supposed to make good food.
My food, I think, is big. It's aggressive, it's aggressively seasoned, and it's hearty.
At home, my food is just sort of comfort food. It's not super fancy, but it's certainly tasty.
It's a life choice to be a girl chef, as it is to be a boy chef. It feels pretty natural to me. It's a full-time, full-scale, full physical job, and a lot of times, it can take the place of kids and family. To be in this career is much more difficult for a woman to have a family, marriage - whatever that means. It's not a 9-5 job.
