Quotes About Cooking That Should Be Inside Every Cook Book

The universe or my ancestors. Whoever speaks up first.

Please get out of my kitchen.

I love my boyfriend, but I need him to stay as far away from me as possible when I'm trying to cook something. And also, I need him to never offer up suggestions, opinions, or any sort of meal requests.
