Famous quotes containing the words recipe and/or flavour:
““Know thyself”? A recipe for a life of embarrassments and regrets.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“... when the Spaniards persecuted heretics they may have been crude, but they were not being unreasonable or unpractical. They were at least wiser than the people of to-day who pretend that it does not matter what a man believes, as who should say that the flavour and digestibility of a pudding will have nothing to do with its ingredients.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
