Food is ever-changing and ever moving forward and getting more and more complex.

I bent my head over a stove in my early 20s and picked it up in my 30s.

The hardest thing for me is restraint.

I used to sleep with the phone right by my pillow but I'm getting better. Now it sits on the table a few feet away.

I don't show just anyone how to crust a sea bass. That's sacred information.

I woke up on May 15, 1991, the day of my Barnard graduation, and I said to myself, 'By the end of today you will decide what you want to do with the rest of your life.'
