The Planning Is Everything. Deciding Which Dishes You're Going To Prepare Can Turn Into The Make-or-break Decision Five Days Later, When You Actually Serve The Meal.

I Think That I Had A Very Clear Vision When I Started Writing Cookbooks What I Wanted It To Be, And That You Would Open The Book, That You Would Look At The Photograph And Go, That Looks Delicious. And Then You Would Look At The Recipe And Say, I Can Actually Make That And I Can Make It With Ingredients I Can Find In The Grocery Store.

I Measure Everything, Because I Always Think That If I've Spent So Much Time Making Sure This Recipe Was Exactly The Way I Want It, Why Would I Want To Throw Things Into A Pot?

I Like Almonds As A Snack - Keeps Your Energy Up But Doesn't Fill You Up.

I Always Have Music. I Love It To Be Very Upbeat. When You're Having Drinks, I Like Something Like Cesaria Evora. During Dinner, I Like The Much More Traditional - Old Frank Sinatra And Things Like That.
