Carlo Petrini on Food Culture

"Turn on a TV anywhere in the world and you will see an idiot with a spoon. And every newspaper and magazine has recipes and a photo of the dish taken from above like a cadaver. It's a form of onanism and is masturbatory. We must normalise food rather than put it on a pedestal far out of reach."

Chef Fergus Henderson on British Cuisine

"I once had a strange moment in Rome. There were these young, groovy things, and I discussed a chicory with them. They were proudly saying it was a Roman chicory. I feel that in London, no one discusses the perfect London cabbage with me, especially if they're groovy and young."
