Famous quotes containing the words tone and/or row:

    We often contradict an opinion when it is actually only the tone with which it was put forward that is uncongenial to us.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    When I develop my recipes I always look for ways to create what I call the Big Taste. While I enjoy eating simple grilled foods, what interests me when I cook are dishes with a taste that is fully dimensional.
