I Had A Fierce Curiosity About This

When I Cook With My Son, I Might Chop Vegetables And Have Fun With Different Shapes. Cooking Is A Way To Teach Kids About Other Things, Like Reading Or Math With All Of The Weights And Measures. There Are So Many Things That Are Part Of Cooking That Are Also Very Educational.

I Launched The Emeril Lagasse Foundation To Provide Culinary Training, And Developmental And Educational Programs To Children In The Cities Where My Restaurants Operate. I Think Everyone Has A Responsibility To Give Back To The Community If They Can, And To Help Future Generations Learn New Skills.

In The Restaurant It's Much More Serious.

I've Always Been Known For Bold Flavors And Rustic Cooking, But There Is Another Side To Me. As You Evolve As A Cook, You Understand Life And How Serious It Is. There Comes A Point Where There's Got To Be A Better Balance.

Soups Are A Great Way To Introduce A Lot Of Vegetables To Kids. Stir-fries, Too, Because They Contain So Many Different Shapes And Colors.
