"We didn't want to limit ourselves to recipes, but wanted to offer some analysis of our food."

"At that time, there were lots of books from chefs that only included recipes. Some gave personal ideas on cooking in general, but there were very few that were focused on analyzing style, creative methods, and the like. This book was the result of our desire to classify our cuisine from a theoretical standpoint, something that continued in later books."
