Quote by -Christina Tosi
Failure gets a bad rap, but I'd like to change that. Failure is necessary. Let it in. Chew it up, and use it as fuel for your soul.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
Nothing feels better then to sit down on a six-hour flight with tired muscles from a workout.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
At first, learning to bake was purely selfish, but I quickly learned I can't eat every batch of cookies myself, so I would bake and eat what I wanted and give the rest away. I fell in love with feeding others as much as I loved eating sweets myself.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
I worked in a bunch of really tough kitchens, but when I got yelled at and screamed at, it wasn't really for being a woman. It was just for making a bonehead mistake.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
I'm a fan of the hand-me-down recipes - friends, family, bake sales, community cookbooks - those are the recipes that have withstood the test of time and fed many hungry fans.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
The matriarchs of my family loved to bake, and the apple didn't fall far from the tree. Baking became something I did every day; it became a time where my creative and nurturing side took stage.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
For me, I love Portland. I love the food scene, I love the vibe, the environment.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
The 'Momofuku Milk Bar' cookbook is rather technical. I wanted it to feel like you were walking into the doors of our kitchen, it was your first day at work, and we were going to teach you everything.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
Being humble is one of the most important things, and not being afraid to put yourself out there is important. I think really successful chefs put themselves out there on a daily basis.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
As a boss, as a CEO, as a creative director, as a chef, I've learned that failure will always come. I've learned to give it a big squeeze, smile at it, humble myself to it and then use it as a springboard to send me on my way to strength, success, and fulfillment.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
Every time I baked cookies for people as a kid, it made me so happy. But when I was in culinary school and working in fine-dining restaurants, that was not a thing.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
When I'm menu-developing at Milk Bar, I'll go for weeks at a time where all I'm doing is testing out layer cakes or different cookies and testing out changes.

Quote by -Christina Tosi
I'm not a normal person with normal tastebuds, so I'll save you all from cringing/dissing on my late night flavour pairings, but I will say when I was a kid, with little to no access to anything but my mother's pantry, I'd dip everything in ranch dressing, Miracle Whip, katsup, barbecue sauce, honey, mustard, etc.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
Milk Bar is a quirky American bakery, where the original inspiration is the humble beginnings of American-style baked goods and loving trips to Dairy Queen.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
I used to exist on just two or three hours of sleep, no problem, like sleep wasn't even a thought. Sleep was just like a chore that you had to do late at night.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
I love to jump around, bounce around, and be active, which is one of the other reasons I decided to pursue a career in the kitchen. I work 12-18 hours a day, and most of it is spent doing just that - jumping, bouncing, and baking.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
It's that strength of the human spirit, the strength of what's deep down in you, that's really going to get you anywhere and everywhere.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
I love the challenge of thinking about how we might approach a bowl of cereal. People are getting so involved in foodie culture and becoming more educated about their food, and yet it can be really simple to do something that's so good for you.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
I really didn't have a big relationship with Vegas until I was in my 20s, and now I probably come out four or five times a year. I love it.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
I have worked my way up in the food industry being strong and steady about who I am as a person, first and foremost, as a chef and professional, and certainly as a woman.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
There are other things that set me off a lot more than what it's like to be a woman in the kitchen.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
I like trying to keep as honest and straightforward of a point of view in our kitchen as possible.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
I approach life with a 'jump' sort of mentality, although I wasn't raised to take crazy risks. I was raised to be a crazy hard worker. It seems to be a pretty good match of qualities.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
I think my biggest heartbreak was when I just couldn't get an American cheese cake/pie with a saltine cracker crust and green tomato sorbet to work out in my favor.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
When you taste something delicious, ask for the recipe! Or offer to trade a recipe!
Quote by -Christina Tosi
Out of culinary school, I worked as a pastry cook in amazing restaurants for years. I ended up leaving the pastry cook scene because, though I loved the industry, the restaurants and the chefs I worked for so much, I had to be honest with myself. I was never going to be them.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
I like to move around a lot - I'm a big runner, and I often get on a bike and ride from meeting to meeting.
Quote by -Christina Tosi
I love a good challenge of looking with new eyes at a tried and true recipe in my recipe Rolodex.
Quote by -Christina Tosi

Quote by -Christina Tosi
