• The things [Pope Francis] has done in a short period of time: the fact that he does not live in a huge papal mansion and just dropped by in the dining room where ordinary people have meals. You think of his background, where he didn't use limousines in South America, that he used public transport.

• At Babbo, each dish grew out of a conversation, trying to put something forth that was new and different. It was a combination of culinary adventurism and the dining-room experience with respect for the classic but with an eye toward innovation. And it was about eating locally, whether produce or fish or meat.

• That's the trouble with the world we live in. It's full of people just doing their job and ignoring what's really going on. Care about the rainforest until they get a couple of kids and enough money for a gas guzzling car, or some hardwood dining furniture. Watch all those wildlife programmes and coo over the furry animals, but still eat meat and poultry that was raised in conditions of unbelievable cruelty.

• Entonces Drew entra arrastrando los pies en el comedor. Dejo caer mi tostada y me quedo con la boca abierta. Llamarle "magullado" sería quedarse corto. Tiene la cara hinchada y morada. Tiene el labio partido y un corte en la ceja. De camino a su mesa, mantiene la mirada baja, ni siquiera la levanta para mirarme. Miro a Cuatro a través de la habitación. Lleva la sonrisa de satisfacción que yo desearía tener puesta.

• Cuanto más lo pensaba Lord Maccon, más le gustaba la idea. Ciertamente, su imaginación estaba llena de imágenes de lo que él y Alexia podrían hacer juntos una vez que la tuviera en casa debidamente casada, pero ahora esas lujuriosas imágenes se mezclaban con otras: despertarse junto a ella, verla al otro lado de la mesa del comedor, discutir de ciencia y política, contar con su consejo en puntos de controversia de la manada y dificultades del BUR. Sin duda le sería útil en las disputas verbales y las maquinaciones sociales, siempre que estuviera de su lado.

• There's something I call 'Moving Day,' which I've done for the last 20 years. Look at everything in your home, then think about how you could combine things in a different way. Maybe you break up your night tables and use one in the family room; maybe the dining room sideboard becomes a console table for your television, with storage underneath.

• The menu should be part of the entertainment, part of the dining experience. It's kind of like reading the 'Playbill' when you go to the theater. It should be an alluring and interactive document. Does it have burn marks on it from the candle? If you ever get a greasy menu with food stains on it, it's time to run like hell.

• There was scarcely a woman alive, it seemed, who could resist the urge to haul men down onto beds, car seats, kitchen floors, dining-room tables, park grass, parlor sofas, or packing crates, entwine warm thighs around them, and pant in ecstasy.

• The food in the House of Commons is fairly good. The cafe in Portcullis House is really very high quality, and you also have a choice of eating in the more traditional restaurants, the Churchill Room or the Members' Dining Room. I don't often eat in them, though, as I'm usually on the run.

• I find myself wanting to make music at the dining room table or in the bedroom - I'm kind of a mobile writer, so I sort of move around the house. But the attic is definitely where I can make the most noise. While everyone on the lower floors screams 'Earthquake!' But no! It's just my bass!

• Desde muy joven estuve completamente rodeado de religión. Mi padre me enseñó. Participé en debates con él y con muchos de estos eruditos que me visitaban y venían a la mesa del comedor, a la mesa de la comida, y asistí a muchas conferencias con mi padre. Y así aprendí a la manera de los aprendices.

• La casa estaba inmaculada, como siempre, ni un pelo suelto por ninguna parte, ni un copo de caspa ni una toalla arrugada. Incluso las rosas de la mesa del comedor contenían el aliento. Una especie de limpieza sin aire que siempre me daba ganas de estornudar.

• Today there are very few chefs at that high level who are behind their stoves. You don't feel their presence within the room. Where's the romance? Where's the show? Where's the theater? The modern day restaurant - it's like dining in a chapel. It's boring.
