For one: "You have to have one really big pot, something you can boil macaroni and rice in, cook corn-on-cob in, wash your hair in, wash your dog in. Get one that's big enough so that a mop will fit." For another: "Wine and liquor are great for cooking, and also for the cook. In fact, more important for the cook than for the cooking." Thus armed, pot and potted, Alice's disciples are advised merely to improvise and advertise. "If you tell...
