To A Billion People Around The World

My Mother And I, Our Favorite Part Of Any Baked Pasta Is The Top, Where The Cheese Gets Crusty.

These Days It's Cool To Be Ethnic And To Be Different, But When I Was A Kid, It Was Not Cool - At All. My Friends Would Come Over And My Mom Would Make Crepes With Eggs, Stuffed With Mozzarella Cheese, Tomatoes And Spinach. And They'd Be Like, 'what Is This?'

My Goal Is To Make Italian Food Clean And Accessible And Beautiful And Tasty, With Simple Ingredients That People Can Find At A Local Grocery Store, Because People Don't Want To Go To A Gourmet Shop In Search Of Items That Will Sit In Their Pantry For Years After They Use Just A Teaspoon Or Pinch Of Them.

I Wasn't Looking To Get Into Tv. My Family Was In The Movie Business, So I Was Never Interested In That World.

If People Are Made To Feel Uncomfortable In The Kitchen, They Won't Go In There. That's Why I Think Children Learning To Cook Can Be Such A Wonderful Thing.
