Biography of Rob Schneider
A woman can laugh and cry in three seconds and it's not weird. But if a man does it, it's very disturbing. The way I'd describe it is like this: I have been allowed inside the house of womanhood, but I feel that they wouldn't let me in any of the interesting rooms.

Tags: Best, Hate, PassionI try not to worry about what that's going to look like. If you worry about looking stupid, that's when you look really stupid.
Tags: Stupid, Try, WorryStudio people are idiots. Until they see someone else doing it and make a success of it, they don't open their minds. Most of them are idiots.
Tags: Else, Someone, SuccessI like to sneak in under the radar. I don't have any paparazzi following me or have to deal with that stuff. I'm never in the tabloids. I prefer that.
Tags: Deal, Following, StuffI lost that excitement I had when I first started out. It was all about the need to just get a job, and so I found the joy again when I was writing Deuce Bigelow. I was laughing so hard and along with my writing partner at the time, simply laughing until we cried.
Tags: Job, Time, WritingGenerally a chef's book is like a calling card or a portfolio to display their personal work.
Tags: Book, Personal, WorkSo many people think they need to have serious equipment. In the magazines and the media, they see all this stylish stuff, especially on TV, and they think, That's what I need to make it work. You don't. I'm attempting a little bit of liberation here.
Tags: Here, Serious, WorkBut all that being said about modulation, if you're serving people delicious food, they won't complain.
Tags: Food, Said, WonConfit is the ultimate comfort food, and trendy or not, it is dazzling stuff.
Tags: Comfort, Food, StuffI also think it's very important to consider how the food will feel to the person eating it.
Tags: Consider, Eating, FoodI had all kinds of food issues, including health concerns and weight concerns.
Tags: Food, Health, KindsTo write a book about improvisation is partly a contradiction in terms. Improvisation is spontaneous. It's in the moment.
Tags: Book, Moment, WriteA lot of people love the idea of improvising but are terrified of it, so I tried to make a book that was not a chef's book about improvising but a real home cook's book with a real home cook's pantry, supermarket ingredients, that sort of thing.
Tags: Book, Home, LoveA lot of people who want to cook with less fat are surprised by that. You can cook vegetables in a little water in a covered pan and then throw the fat into the residual liquid to coat them.
Tags: Fat, Less, WaterI realized I didn't want to be a photographer. I gave it up, but I still worked that job in the restaurant and I found myself constantly hanging out in the kitchen.

I was aiming for the cooks that I've talked to by teaching an online course and by traveling, listening to people who are really busy and harried but want to be cooking.
Tags: Busy, Cooking, ListeningI'm a serious eater and a seriously hungry person, so I set out on that path to figure it out for myself, and of course it really resonated with other people.
Tags: Path, Serious, SeriouslyOften for hors d'oeuvres, I serve room temperature vegetables, something like that, so that the main course might be quite rich but the first course has balanced it out.
Tags: Might, Often, RichSalt is a preservative. It really holds flavor. For example, if you chop up some fresh herbs, or even just garlic, the salt will extract the moisture and preserve the flavor.
Tags: Example, Fresh, SaltThat being said, I often write into recipes techniques I learned in the restaurant kitchen. There are ways of organizing your prep and so on that are immensely useful. Those are woven into all the recipes I do.
Tags: Learned, Often, SaidThe restaurant chefs in Spain are breaking ground, but in terms of the everyday cooking in Spain I still hear people coming back and saying they were disappointed. I think it's because they're expecting the chef stuff.
Tags: Everyday, Saying, StuffThere are so many things that come into writing a recipe, and it's really important if you're writing for home cooks to be cooking like you are at home.
Tags: Cooking, Home, WritingThis book is pointing the way into it for people that see it as daunting or a mystery. Some people just do it, but others need help with the mindset, permission almost to listen to themselves. Understanding how things work is the key.
Tags: Book, Help, WorkUsing lots of fresh foods, fruits and vegetables, helps to keep the menu buoyant - I don't know if that's the right word, but it keeps a balance of freshness and health.
