I Love To Cook; That's My Passion.

I Think You've Got To Keep It Simple, Keep It Fresh. Stay Away From All That Processed Stuff, Read The Labels.

Wrap Fish Fillets, Sliced Veggies, And Other Quick-cooking Items Inside Foil Packets With Bundles Of Fresh Herbs And Throw Them Directly On The Grill; The Steam Will Release The Herb's Perfume And Flavor Anything Contained Inside The Pouch.

We're Setting Up An Urban Farm For Kids On More Than 20 Acres In New Orleans. We Want To Make This A World-class Educational Center For The Community.

I Make Some Of My Best Recipes With A Simple Homemade Stock. Keep Shrimp Shells Stored In A Plastic Bag In The Freezer. When You Have Almost A Gallon-bag Full, You Can Make A Stock In 30 Minutes That You Can Use In Soups And Sauces. You Can Then Freeze The Stock In Ice-cube Trays.

I Think You Have To Be Careful With Spices. Kids' Palates Can Be Very Delicate, And They Might Not Like Things Overspiced. In My Cookbooks For Kids, I Do A Milder Version Of My Signature Spice Blend, Emeril's Essence, Called Baby Bam, Which Has No Cayenne Pepper.
