We may live without poetry, music and art;
We may live without conscience, and live without heart;
We may live without friends; we may live without books;
But civilized man cannot live without cooks.
- Owen Meredith (1st Earl of Lytton)


So long as you have food in your mouth, you have solved all questions for the time being. - Franz Kafka

Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what’s for lunch.
- Orson Welles

There is no love sincerer than the love of food.
- George Bernard Shaw
