It's Wild How Chefs Have Become Like

I Believe In Eating Smaller Meals More Often Throughout The Day To Keep The Metabolism Going. Don't Deprive Yourself, Just Make Better Choices. At 50 Years Old It Is Definitely A Lot Harder To Stay In Shape Then It Was When I Was In My 20's.

You Probably Think Italians Like Meals With Heavy Meats And Sauces, But They Actually Prefer Light Meats. They See Turkey As A Healthy, Light White Meat That Lends Itself Excellently To Their Style Of Cooking, And They Use It In Many Different Ways. Also, Europeans Do Not Celebrate Thanksgiving So They Perceive Turkey As An All-year Round Option.

Like Anything, You Don't Force Kids To Cook. It Just Becomes Part Of Life - Have Them Be Around It, Keep Them Informed - Talk About It. I Try To Relay My Passion For It In These Ways. The Second You Try To Force Anything On Your Own Kid, They Rebel.

I Think A Lot Of People Have A Misconception Of What The Kitchen Is About, But You Know The Grueling Part Of It Is Also The Pleasure Of It. That's Why I Think You Have To Have A Certain Mentality To Understand What That Is And Be Able To Handle It.

I Played From The Time I Was Seven Years Old. My Father Was My First Baseman Coach. I Had Opportunities That I Never Really Pursued - With Some Miami Teams And A Few Larger Colleges, And Then I Ended Up Bailing And Began Cooking.
