Fun Is The Most Important. If You

I've Taught Myself How To Use Good, Fresh Ingredients And To Prepare Them As Simply As Possible By Cooking Only To Enhance Their Intrinsic Flavors.

The Thing About All My Food Is That Everything Is A Remembered Flavor. Maybe It's Something I Had As A Child Or Maybe It's Something I Had In Milan, But I Want It To Taste Better Than You Ever Thought.

My Mother Would Never Let Me In The Kitchen. I Always Wanted To Cook, But I Was Never Allowed To. Her View Of The World Was, "cooking Is My Job, And Studying Is Your Job." I Think, In Retrospect, She Didn't Like The Chaos. She Was Very Orderly. It Had To Be Her Way.

My Extravagance Is My Garden - It's The First Thing I Look At Every Morning When I Wake Up. It Gives Me So Much Pleasure.
