Cook

Famous quotes containing the word cook:

    How much more interesting an event is that man’s supper who has just been forth in the snow to hunt, nay, you might say, steal, the fuel to cook it with! His bread and meat are sweet.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    There’s terrific merit in having no sense of humour, no sense of irony, practically no sense of anything at all. If you’re born with these so-called defects you have a very good chance of getting to the top.
    —Peter Cook (b. 1937)

    ‘Oh, I am a cook and a captain bold,
    And the mate of the Nancybrig,
    And a bos’sun tight, and a midshipmite,
    And the crew of the captain’s gig!”’
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
