My mother and father could put up with a lot of things, but not bad food... I think a lot people have a misconception that fried food is always going to be greasy and heavy, but fried properly its really a wonderful way to cook because it seals the natural flavors of the food inside with this crispy exterior. Its almost the purest way of enjoying something when its very well fried. The act of cooking together creates a bond within a family. -- Giuliano Hazan on A Taste of the Past
