I Love Garlic, And I Use It

Cooking Is A Holistic Process Of Planning, Preparing, Dining And Sharing Food. I Place Food At The Center Of Our Humanity, As It Nourishes Not Only Our Physical Bodies But Also Our Emotional And Spiritual Lives. Food Is Truly A Cultural Phenomenon That Informs Our Traditions And Our Relationship With The Earth. I Genuinely Believe That Food Connects Us All.

I Have More Eating Memories Than Cooking Memories And Many Memories Of Being In The Kitchen - I Was Always Attracted To The Kitchen - But Nobody Ever Wanted Me To Touch Anything.

California Is Lucky, The East Coast Is Lucky Because We Get Great Seafood And A Lot Of Produce From Florida, Locally In Good Weather, But In The Winter We Have To Buy It.

In A Professional Kitchen, The Idea Is To Have Your Cooks Not Moving Much While Theyre Cooking. You Want Them To Stay In The Same Spot.

If I Go To A Nightclub, Even If The Music Is Good, If The Sound System Is Not, I Don't Stay.
