ALLA WOLF-TASKER
Find time somehow to rest and
take time out for yourself. Those physical resources
and capacities that one takes for granted when one is
young do not last and their depletion will come back to
haunt you. Never assume you're an expert. I learn
every day, sometimes from the most unexpected people
and sources. I hope to keep learning until my last day.
CATH CLARINGBOLD
Try to maintain quality, integrity
and consistency in all aspects of your business. Be
really sure about what you want to achieve and plan for
it. A lot of people have a one-year plan with no idea
what to do beyond that. What happens when you get
tired, or sick or you lose a loved one?
DONNA HAY
Be prepared to work very long hours
and put in the hard yards. Most of all, fi nd your groove
and stick to it. And stay true to yourself.
It represents culinary
independence: with Stephanie
beside you in the kitchen, few
ingredients intimidate for long.
