Jose Andres Puerta Life Quotations

My whole life, I have been trying to cook an egg in the right way.

I started culinary school at a very young age, and really I wanted to be out working, cooking, more than I wanted to be in a classroom. You could say I wasn't a very good student - I wanted to be a student of life and experience.

I've been a cook all my life, but I am still learning to be a good chef. I'm always learning new techniques and improving beyond my own knowledge because there is always something new to learn and new horizons to discover.

Anyone who knows me knows that I have never been shy about how important Ferran Adria has been in my life; he is a friend, a mentor, an inspiration.

All my life, I've had restaurants that were affordable.

I'm a different immigrant. My life is so lucky compared to so many.
