"It is possible to eat really well without blowing the budget. Often, there's a knowledge gap. Those of us who best know how to make a food dollar stretch are the people who least need to to it."
"Once people get back in the kitchen and start cooking, basic skills will be learned and come back."
--J.M. Hirsch, food editor for the Associated Press on Straight, No Chaser
