Wine lovers have known for centuries that decanting wine before serving it often improves its flavor. Whatever the dominant process, the traditional decanter is a rather pathetic tool to accomplish it. A few years ago, I found I could get much better results by using an ordinary kitchen blender.

I realised filming in my own apartment that it was nice to come home and have some space. It worked for 'The Little Paris Kitchen' but now I've learned a lot about TV; you need space for the camera and you want to be mentally sound after filming.

My favorite kitchen was the Japanese and the Italian kitchen.

The house is in turmoil with records on every space. In the kitchen and in the dining room is covered with records. I don't have a big enough house to accommodate everything.

I have tennis shoes with little rhinestones that I slip on if I exercise. But I always wear heels, even around the house. I'm such a short little thing, I can't reach my kitchen cabinets.

In Spanish, we have a saying: 'The woman and the frying pan belong in the kitchen.' Ohhhh, I hate it!

I know every movement of my kitchen.

I couldn't be a supermodel, hats off. I'll stick to the kitchen!

I usually write in my kitchen, which is a large, octagonal room that looks into woods - three big windows look out into the trees.

I wander around the house and write in bed, at the kitchen table, by the window, in the yard.

I'm in a loft and the kitchen is in the very center of the apartment. The whole place revolves around it.

I said I thought first I was on the stairs; then I remembered I was in the kitchen when he came in.

After college, I spent a decade working the kinds of jobs that I write about - bartender, shoe salesman, kitchen man - while voraciously reading novels.

You need to have that natural instinct in the kitchen, in order to develop that combination of interesting flavors that make great desserts work.

I would suggest that if you get in your kitchen and cook for yourself, you can eat like kings for a very low cost.

The thing with my recipes is, I don't have hours to faff about in the kitchen. My recipes are all 15, 20 minute, chop it up and stick it in the oven.

I believe that a cook in a kitchen isn't producing an entree: he's producing a reaction. The product is the reaction; the entree is just the vehicle.

The type of renovation I do most often is opening a kitchen to the family room.

I've been my mom's kitchen helper since I was a little kid.

I made it quite clear that I want to be female-friendly. I don't want to be too sexualised because a woman in a kitchen is already a loaded image.
