What do you actually need? Food, clothing and shelter. Everything else is entertainment.

~ Anthony Bourdain
Food makes travel so exceptional, because you get to taste what it's actually supposed to taste like. To eat the real Pad Thai or finally have a proper curry is something pretty amazing.
~ Meghan Markle
When I eat cilantro, it's like someone sprayed perfume down my throat. It closes up my throat, even if there's only a little piece. I like Mexican food, and I'll go out to a Mexican restaurant and tell them, 'Look, I will die if you get cilantro in my food.' Then there's always that one little piece that falls in, and I gag.
~ Amber Rose
People need to look at wildlife conservation in its totality. As soon as you lose the apex predator, it has harmful consequences right down the food chain.

You can't have a healthy civilization without healthy soil. You can't have junk food and have healthy people.
~ Joel Salatin
I know how I like my food. I like it spicy, salty, sticky, crunchy, juicy, oozy - basically any dish you know and love, jacked up to a bordering-on-socially-unacceptable amount of flavor.
~ Chrissy Teigen
Taste as you go. When you taste the food throughout the cooking process you can make adjustments as you go.

If you want to eat well in England, eat three breakfasts.
~ W. Somerset Maugham
I was eating bad stuff. Lots of sugar and carbs, junk food all the time. It makes you very irritated.
~ Avril Lavigne
You don't want flame to hit your food. Flame is bad. Flame does nasty things to food. It makes soot and it makes deposits of various chemicals that are not too good for us. The last thing you really want to see licking at your food while it's on a grill is an actual flame.
~ Alton Brown
Most food you drop is still perfectly edible. If it was in your eyesight the whole time, you can pick it up and eat it.

Latin food suffers like Chinese. You can do marginal Chinese and be successful. You can do crappy Mexican and be packed.

What's the most humiliating thing? When you take someone to dinner or you cook somebody dinner and they get food poisoning. I mean, how bad do you feel?
~ Wendi Mclendon-Covey
If you can't afford organic food and are unable to grow your own, it's crucial to wash all inorganic produce very carefully to minimize the toxins you consume. Soak everything for 20 minutes in water with vinegar and salt or water with fresh lemon juice and salt.
~ Suzanne Somers
Understand, when you eat meat, that something did die. You have an obligation to value it - not just the sirloin but also all those wonderful tough little bits.
The first step in reforming appetite is going from processed food to real food. Then, if you can afford organic or grass-fed, fantastic. But the first step is moving from processed industrial food to the real thing.
~ Michael Pollan
Barbecue is an incredibly democratic food. It's cheaper than McDonald's in many places and far more delicious. On the other hand, the only reason it can be that cheap is they use commodity hogs, the worst of the worst, which is - you know, it's an industry kind of ruining North Carolina.
I love oatmeal. To me, it's not boring. I agree that ordinary oatmeal is very boring, but not the steel-cut Irish kind - the kind that pops in your mouth when you bite into it in little glorious bursts like a sort of gummy champagne.
~ Alan Alda
The physics of water is central to cooking, because food is mostly water. All steak that you cook is actually boiled on the inside.
~ Nathan Myhrvold
If you talk about sous-vide, then you have to talk about food safety, and microbiology, and heat.
You know, for 300 years it's been kind of the same. There are restaurants in New Orleans that the menu hasn't changed in 125 years, so how is one going to change or evolve the food?
~ Emeril Lagasse
If you're going to America, bring your own food.
~ Fran Lebowitz
There is so much more vegetable use in Thailand, India and China than meat. Yes, when you go to the markets or buy street food, you see shrimp or chicken - but mostly vegetables.
~ Jean-Georges Vongerichten
Food can become such a point of anxiety - not because it's food, but just because you have anxiety. That's how eating disorders develop.
~ Vanessa Carlton
I can get whatever I want to eat and when you, you know, you forget to eat you sometimes pick up fast food.
~ Star Jones
Provision as much pure and organic food as you can, and let the rest go by.
~ Laurie Colwin
'Shkoff' is to eat. 'Shkiaff' is to slap. Like, 'Gettouttahere I'm gonna give you a couple of shkiaffs,' or, 'Forget presentation, just shkiaff the food onto the plate.'
~ Nadia Giosia
I like to say, 'Chop suey's the biggest culinary joke that one culture has ever played on another,' because chop suey, if you translate into Chinese, means 'tsap sui,' which, if you translate back, means 'odds and ends.'
~ Jennifer Lee
I'm encouraged because you pick up any food magazine and there's two or three recipes involving Indian spices.
~ Aarti Sequeira

Jesus is ideal and wonderful, but you Christians - you are not like him.
