"My goal in ‘Live to Cook’ is to make great food more approachable for home cooks." ― Michael Symon Topic(s): Food More From Michael Symon "I don’t think any other holiday embraces the food of the Midwest quite like Thanksgiving. There’s roasted meat and mashed potatoes. But being here is also about heritage. Cleveland is really a giant melting pot – not only is my family a melting pot, but so is the city." "Go to the grocery store and buy better things. Buy quality, buy organic, buy natural, go to the farmers market. Immediately that’s going to increase the quality of the food you make." "Recipes are important but only to a point. What’s more important than recipes is how we think about food, and a good cookbook should open up a new way of doing just that."

I’d like a lot of money to put into my physicals and to buy food for all my friends."― Syd Barrett "He was a bold man that first ate an oyster."― Jonathan Swift "Food is not your best friend or enemy."― Bethenny Frankel
