Culinary Matchmaker Pillows

"I've found my soul mate!"

"The menu just says fried fish, but may I give you a more compelling, surprisingly lyrical description?"

'You complimented the chef on his dumplings -now he wishes to return the compliments!'

'He's trying to put some magic into my recipes.'

'I love it when you spoon me.' 'I love it when you fork me.'

Two lovers matched by their love of food

Salt and Pepper

"Nobody truly appreciates the magic that goes into a good omelet."

"Oh, but we could be so good together...!"

'Tasty bird.'

Where cronuts come from.

'Of course it's high in protein. Just look at this!'

"Pie chart"

"And that is how you handle liver!"

"You were right-we should have just split one."

Television company new recruit

"Things were going along great with Greg and me, and then the 'Diceman' returned."

'A tiny kitchen, one cook, and great food...I don't know how they do it.'

"Excuse me but it's our food, can you make it sexy?"

'Memorable miracles' from 'burning bush' to 'low cal ice cream'

'Tasty.'

"How nice. A truffle."

"You're right, Pierre, they are licking their plates."

"Wanna do lunch?"

Anthony Bourdain with Chopsticks

'Yourplace.com or mine?'

I thought this year we'd do soup and salad.

Kitchen Consultations

"I'm selling the gingerbread house and buying a food truck."

"If Labor Day is supposed to be a day off for workers to spend time with their families...I think Tia Carmen needs a day off from Labor Day."

'What a wonderful evening, Chuck - candlelight, soft music and my favourite feed.'

'Madge, did we really need a home computer to make scrambled eggs?'

Give a fly a bowl of soup and he'll eat for a day. Teach him how to use a crock-pot and he'll eat for a lifetime.

'I'll swap you my Wimbledon freebies for your Anodised pan set!'

Wow. That was a lot faster. (Published originally on October 20, 2011.)
