Famous quotes containing the word cook:

    A cook they hadde with hem for the nones
    To boille the chiknes with the marybones.

    I love it, I love it; and who shall dare
    To chide me for loving that old arm-chair?
    —Eliza Cook (1818–1889)

    From what I have said of the natives of New Holland they may appear to some to be the most wretched people upon earth; but in reality they are far happier than we Europeans, being wholly unacquainted not only with the superfluous, but with the necessary conveniences so much sought after in Europe; they are happy in not knowing the use of them.
    James, Captain Cook (1728–1779)
