I'm like a really goofy home ec teacher.

The turkey - my number one thing that people don't get is take that sucker out of the refrigerator about three hours before you plan on cooking it.

I don't like to be polarizing. It's not who I am.

If my wife made childhood obesity her mission and I signed a law making 1/8 cup of tomato paste a vegetable, I'd be sleeping on the sofa.

I know people that could serve me canned tuna and saltine crackers and have me feel more at home at their table than some people who can cook circles around me. The more you try to impress people, generally the less you do.

The skin is forming because of proteins, just like if you cook milk or anything else that's got a coagulant protein in it.

Cooking is an observation-based process that you can't do if you're so completely focused on a recipe.
