Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin

Tell me what you eat, and I shall tell you what you are.

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

The pleasures of the table are for every man, of every land, and no matter of what place in history or society; they can be a part of all his other pleasures, and they last the longest, to console him when he has outlived the rest.
