Artichokes Quote by Alexandra Guarnaschelli

“The hardest thing about being a full time chef is leaving my work behind when I go home at night. I'll toss and turn about a menu item or forget to order produce and wake up at 4 A.M. in a cold sweat over some artichokes.” quote by Alexandra Guarnaschelli
