With My Crazy Schedule, That Often Means

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.

Stock Up Your Pantry And Your Freezer With Things That Aren't Perishable: Your Favorite Jar Of Tomato Sauce That Lists "tomato" As The First Ingredient, Lots Of Grains, Olive Oils, Vinegars, Tomato Pastes, Onions, Shallots. When You Go To The Store, You Only Have To Pick Up Meats And Produce.

Cooking For Me Is A Way To Wind Down. It's Different From Cooking On Camera, Where You Have To Do Everything Twice, For A Wide Shot And A Close-up.

I Love To Do Yoga, Even If It Means Getting Up At 5:30 In The Morning. It Helps Me Breathe And Stop All The Chatter In My Head. That Can Help You Get Through Everything.

I Made Lemon Spaghetti In An Early Season Of 'everyday Italian,' And To This Day People Still Come Up To Me And Say They Love It. It's Very, Very Simple. Basically, You Cook The Pasta And Mix Together Parmesan Cheese, Olive Oil, Lemon Juice And Zest And Pour It Over The Pasta.
