Quotes about Cookery


Cookery is become an art, a noble science; cooks are gentlemen.

Robert Burton

Cookery is become an art, a noble science; cooks are gentlemen.

Robert Burton

No, Antony, take the lot: But, first or last, your fine Egyptian cookery Shall have the fame. I have heard that Julius Caesar Grew faw with feasting there.

William Shakespeare

A rod twelve feet long and a ring of wire, A winder and barrel, will help thy desire In killing a Pike; but the forked stick, With a slit and a bladder,--and that other fine trick, Which our artists call snap, with a goose or a duck,-- Will kill two for one, if you have any luck; The gentry of Shropshire do merrily smile, To see a goose and a belt the fish to beguile; When a Pike suns himselfe and a-frogging doth go, The two-inched hook is better, I know, Than the ord'nary snaring: but still I must cry, When the Pike is at home, minde the cookery.

Thomas Barker

Benjamin Franklin

In general, mankind, since the improvement of cookery, eats twice as much as nature requires.
