I Don't Know That I Have A Favorite Meal. When I'm Cooking I'm Thinking About The Person I'm Feeding And I Want To Make Them Whatever They Want. My Husband's Favorite Meal Is Carbonara. I Guess My Favorite Food Is Anything My Mom Makes. Because Like Anybody Who Loves Their Mother's Cooking, If You Try And Make Your Mom's Recipes, They Never Taste Quite The Same. And I Don't Know If That's Because She's Lying About What She's Putting In There And Just Not Telling Me. Like When I Turn My Back, She's Sneaking Something In There. It Just Never Seems To Taste The Same.

Evoo Is Extra-virgin Olive Oil. I First Coined 'evoo' On My Cooking Show Because Saying 'extra Virgin Olive Oil' Over And Over Was Wordy, And I'm An Impatient Girl - That's Why I Make 30-minute Meals!

When I Do A 30-minute Meal, For Instance, On Food Network, That's My Food You See At The End Of The Show And It's Not Perfect. And If Sometimes Things Break Or Drop Or The Pasta Hits The Wall When I'm Draining It, They Never Stop Tape. They Just Kind Of Let Me Go With It.

I'm Completely Unqualified For Any Job I've Ever Had.
