I Cook And I Chat. That's What

Never Be A Food Snob. Learn From Everyone You Meet - The Fish Guy At Your Market, The Lady At The Local Diner, Farmers, Cheese Makers. Ask Questions, Try Everything And Eat Up!

I Cook And I Chat. That's What I Do. I Love To Write Recipes, But Basically, If You Had To Put It In A Nutshell, I Cook And I Chat.

When I Do A 30-minute Meal, For Instance, On Food Network, That's My Food You See At The End Of The Show And It's Not Perfect. And If Sometimes Things Break Or Drop Or The Pasta Hits The Wall When I'm Draining It, They Never Stop Tape. They Just Kind Of Let Me Go With It.

My Mom, Who's Been In The Restaurant Business For 40 Years, Is The Number-one Influence In My Life. But I Look Up To A Lot Of People In The Industry. Tops On My List Is Mario Batali. My Mom And Mario Taught Me The Same Lesson: Food Is Love.

I Like Feeling Like An Ox At The End Of The Day. I Like Working Hard.
