Raymond Blanc Quotations

As a child, I gained the deepest understanding of food, without even knowing it.

I had the archetypal French bucolic upbringing, in a peasant village in deepest Burgundy.

It's not the microwave that's the problem, it's what people put into them. I know people lead busy lives but they should try to sit their children down at the table once a week and cook them simple food.

I've never been able to contemplate failure. Success is everything.

To me when a mother puts food in a microwave for her children, it is an act of hate

Like my father before me, I'm a very passionate person, with boundless energy and tremedous willpower.

When you cook it should be an act of love. To put a frozen bag in the microwave for your child is an act of hate.
