The best advice I've heard Chef Pepin give was "to make a recipe once, then make it your own." I'll never forget that. Thank you, Chef Pepin. You have taught me so much.

I love Jacques. He is my favorite chef. I use to tape his shows and watch them over and over again. I still watch him. Best tip I learned from him "Crack egg on even surface."

It’s about what I thought Jacques would say. There is no real magic formula except persistence and to push on with your passion even through hardships etc., never stop learning, and be content with what you have knowing that if you want, you have a choice to change, or at least change your viewpoint.
It’s older age wisdom is all.

I'd like to add: don't give up or let yourself get discouraged just because you made some mistake - keep going!
