"I'm wowed. This is outstanding. The chicken is so light, so perfectly cooked, so crisp. It's just such an appealing dish."

"The heat is so subtle, and it just slowly builds, like, I'm left with such a great flavor in my mouth."

"The pastry bag, what came out of it is superb, is sublime. It's this crema, the parmesan. This dish I would serve in my restaurant tonight."

"The lentils are cooked al dente, but they give texture."

 "I wouldn't call the lentils al dente. I would call the lentils undercooked."
