Flavors Quote by J. Kenji Lopez-Alt

“If you want your kids to have fun learning about food, you need to let them explore it in their own way. Let them figure out for themselves what textures and flavors go well together. Who knows, maybe they'll invent the next French-fry-dipped-in-a-Frosty trend.” quote by J. Kenji Lopez-Alt
