"
She changed the way America eats."
- New York Newsday

"One of the most important reasons I love to cook is because it allows me to continue to learn. Everyday is a new beginning, a new opportunity to satisfy my insatiable curiosity …and my appetite, at the same time. As I learn something, I love to share it…either in books or cooking classes. And without fail, again I learn something through them as well. It’s what makes cooking a constantly fresh experience…there’s no end to the learning and sharing process.…and you get to make everyone happy at the same time.”
      - Julee Rosso
