And often, sometimes I think, why the f*** did I do that?

I'm going to teach you many different recipes,

presentations, how to really make something happen.

I had a stepfather, he was not a nice guy.

I always wanted to leave.

I was 14 years old and I found a job.

I said, "it's perfect, I can leave the house."

You're going to learn how to be a better cook at home.

Teach your palate little step by step.

You can toast your peppercorns in the oven to release the oil.

Keep the pan.

Don't rinse the pan.

This is where we're going to make our sauce.

I was the chef at a French restaurant.

A manager comes to me and says, "here is the new menu."

"What do you mean the new menu?"

"You didn't even talk to me."

I got so pissed off at him, I took off my apron and said,

"well then you f***ing cook the menu."

I said, you know, I want to be in charge of my own destiny.

Most people would just throw it away.

Don't use the expensive olive oil

because it's a waste of money.

If you want to start your day with a Bloody Mary like that,

you don't going to stop.

If you have passion for what you do,

you're going to be successful at the end.

They're going to say, "where did you learn that?"

Did you learn it at the MasterClass,

or did you go to Paris for a year?

I'm Wolfgang Puck, and this is my MasterClass.
