- ― Jose Andres, Spanish-American chef

- ― Zeff to his student, Sanji (One Piece)
- "It doesn't matter if you spend a thousand Berries or a million, you should never waste even a single scrap of food! It is our duty as cooks to utilize every bit of our ingredients with love and skill, just like loving everything about a lady. A wise old geezer once taught me that."
- ― Sanji (One Piece)

- ― Marco Pierre White, British chef
- "Ordinary ingredients can be turned into delicious food if you know how to cook them."

- ― Tonio Trussadi (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part IV: Diamond is Unbreakable)
- "No one is born a great cook, one learns by doing. Cooking well doesn’t mean cooking fancy. You don’t have to cook fancy or complicated masterpieces—just good food from fresh ingredients."
- ― Julia Child, American chef
- "You think cooking is a cute job, ay? Like Mommy in the kitchen? Well, Mommy never had to face the dinner rush when the orders come flooding in and every dish is different and none are simple and all have the different cooking time and must arrive at the customer's table at exactly the same time, hot! And! Perfect! Every second counts and you CANNOT BE MOMMY!"
- ― Colette (Ratatouille)
