Kids are now eating things like edamame and sushi. I didn't know what shiitake mushrooms were when I was 10 - most kids today do.

You are going to be what you put in your body, so I try to teach that to my kids, and the kids around me.

We're probably close to reaching 2,000 shows, which is more than Julia Child and Jacques Pepin together.

Those other 10 o'clock shows that come on, all you get from them is headaches and nightmares when you go to bed! At least we give you food, know what I mean?

I think all kids need snacks. Mine are fruit machines. I give them things like apple slices, berries and melon. Do I let them eat ice cream? Absolutely. But not every day.

Food that's beautiful to look at seems to taste better than food that isn't.

The most interesting thing I've ever heard about myrself that isn't true is that I'm not a nice guy.
