Don’t live by rich cookery (Thoreau)

May 24th, 2006  |  Published in Food, Life, Quotes

It is not worth the while to live by rich cookery. Most men would feel shame if caught preparing with their own hands precisely such a dinner, whether of animal or vegetable food, as is every day prepared for them by others.

—Henry David Thoreau, Walden (1854), p. 179
