Cook

Famous quotes containing the word cook:

—Flavius Josephus Cook (1838–1901)

“‘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)

“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.”
