«The aim of this book is to encourage everyone to cook and eat mindfully. It doesn't matter what you cook or eat, what utensils you use or how you do it, the most important thing is to do everything in the great Presence.
«I will attempt to present the results of forty years of experience, study and reflection on cooking. This will be an opportunity for me to express what I imagine to be the innermost thoughts of some of the great chefs whom I respect. 
Some key questions will underpin my approach:
What do we know about the art of cooking?
What do we know about the mysterious force that inspires such creativity, beauty and sincerity in these artists?
Are we aware of the gift they are giving us?
Are we aware of the gifts that nature, living beings and the surrounding matter bestow upon us?
Do we know what a man truly is?
Does he himself know why he eats?
Through cooking and the art of eating, is it possible to better understand our role on earth?
I hope these questions will whet your appetite, and I wish you bon appétit!
