Marcus Samuelsson Quotes

I’ve lived all over the world, but Harlem is very special to me, and when I decided to open a restaurant near my home, I didn’t want it to be business as usual Picture Quote #1

Children want to mimic adults. They notice when you choose to prepare fresh vegetables over calling in another pizza pie for dinner. They will see that food made with love and care outweighs going through the drive-through window Picture Quote #1

I learned from my grandmother, who grew up in devastating war times, how important it is to keep with tradition and celebrate the holidays during tough times Picture Quote #1

I had a long-lasting love affair with the flavors from Japan and the hustling New York street vendors. And, of course, a life-changing return to Ethiopia has made huge impacts on my life in food Picture Quote #1

Childhood nutrition and healthy eating is a cause that is extremely close to my heart Picture Quote #1

Like all food, whether you’re talking about Persian food, or Chinese food, or Swedish food, it’s always a reflection of wars, trading, a bunch of good and a bunch of bad. But what’s left is always the food story Picture Quote #1

The darker the chocolate is, the more antioxidants it contains. So when eaten in moderation - just a few bites from a well-made dark chocolate bar, for instance - there’s no need to feel bad about indulging once in a while Picture Quote #1

Aside from the obvious chocolate cookies and ice cream, chocolate can be used in a variety of ways for desserts Picture Quote #1

The Swedish Christmas is definitely unique, even throughout Scandinavia. Like Christmas everywhere, it’s a very family-centered holiday Picture Quote #1

The holidays are my favorite time of year! Christmas was always one of the biggest celebrations in Sweden, and I look forward to the festivities each year Picture Quote #1

As a chef, I could not wash my hands - nor clean pots, pans, utensils, meats or produce, nor make soups and sauces - if I did not have clean water. Were this to happen, of course, these would be the least of my concerns. Because water is the linchpin of survival: without it, not much else matters Picture Quote #1

In Africa, you have no clean water, but you have good food options. In Harlem, everyone can shower and get fresh water, but you often have bad food options Picture Quote #1

In the harrowing aftermath of Haiti’s earthquake, one of the greatest needs became desperately clear: safe water Picture Quote #1

While most individuals use the flesh of the coconut in their cooking, coconut water and oil are also known to have numerous health benefits Picture Quote #1

Coconut oil is one of the most beneficial sources of fat. It is comprised of medium-chain fatty acids or MCFAs, which are easier to break down and metabolize into energy than large-chain fatty acids, which are often stored in the body as fat for later use Picture Quote #1

I think that if you grind your spices and keep them in small batches, you can use them in endless ways. The key thing is to have a spice mill or a coffee grinder, and to keep your spices cold and in tightly lidded boxes Picture Quote #1

For centuries, soup kitchens have been a way for local communities to offer a way of support, both nutritional and emotional to their less lucky neighbors Picture Quote #1

I am a chef through and through. Everything I do - whether it is cooking for kids in Harlem or cooking in a fine dining establishment - all my days are consumed by food Picture Quote #1

I’m engaged in food on so many levels, and I love that. So my work, my craft, is around food, and writing is one aspect of it; communicating a narrative, cooking online is one aspect of it; solving the food chasm that we have in Harlem and finding a farmers market is another one, and all of them are equally exciting for me Picture Quote #1

I would love to take a cooking class from Gandhi. Maybe I could teach him how to cook, and he could teach me his message. I wouldn’t mind learning how to make couscous from scratch from a North African woman, either Picture Quote #1

I cannot stress a greater importance than to teach the young generation about the risks of unhealthy eating. A great way to pique their interest in nutrition is to involve them more in the cooking process. They not only will learn to cook for themselves, but also develop a lifetime of healthy habits Picture Quote #1

I started cooking for the love of cooking, and I am going to keep cooking whether there’s a celebrity aspect to it or not Picture Quote #1

Whether you’re on a diet, or you’re looking for a go-to one bowl dinner recipe, salads should be thought of as crowd-pleasers, not a dreaded component of a meal Picture Quote #1

Not only are pasta dishes delicious, but they are also great, easy options for a quick dinner during a busy weekday Picture Quote #1

Every time you use the word ‘healthy,’ you lose. The key is to make yummy, delicious food that happens to be healthy Picture Quote #1

The opportunity here in the U.S. is so unique because we are so diverse, with so many different cultures living together. Christians, Jews, Hindus, Muslims and Buddhists, all with their own connections to the spiritual aspects of food and with lessons that we can learn from each other Picture Quote #1

Every day, whether I am teaching or entertaining - I absolutely love bringing different people and cultures together Picture Quote #1

There shouldn’t be an announcement that divides our food between what tastes good and what is good for us Picture Quote #1

I don’t distinguish the music I listen to from great music - it’s just music. There shouldn’t be an announcement that divides our food between what tastes good and what is good for us Picture Quote #1

For decades, many blacks were reluctant to pursue a profession that was associated with servitude. If you went to school, it was to become a lawyer or doctor. Older generations didn’t understand why one would spend money to learn how to chop, peel, dice, and saute vegetables when that trade could be taught at home Picture Quote #1
