Fernand Point Quotes <ul><li>&quot;When one thinks of la grande cuisine one cannot think of money; the two are incompatible. La grande cuisine is extremely expensive-but that does not mean one cannot do very good cooking with inexpensive ingredients.&quot; </li></ul><ul><li>&quot;Every morning the cuisinier must start again at zero, with nothing on the stove. That is what real cuisine is all about.&quot; </li></ul><ul><li>&quot;In all professions without doubt, but certainly in cooking one is a student all his life.&quot; </li></ul><ul><li>&quot;Success is the sum of a lot of small things done correctly.&quot; </li></ul>
