Give yourself enough time to really learn how to cook.

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.

Creative risks will always outweigh technical mistakes.

My reasons for becoming a chef are somewhat of a cliche. I always loved to eat but it was watching my parents cook that really served as the impetus for my career choice.

If I want my daughter to try something, I eat it in front of her repeatedly without forcing the issue and, with some trial and error, the world is our oyster!

If you want to have a relationship, at some point you have to let yourself get caught. That's what I did. I got caught.

The best way to learn to cook is to do some serious eating.
