A lot of parents ask me how to get kids to eat more vegetables. The first thing I say is that it starts from the top.

I spent a lot of time on farms when I was young. My uncle and my dad owned a big farm.

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

I'm not impressed with presidents. I have met a few, but I'm not impressed with them.

If kids can learn how to make a simple Bolognese sauce, they will never go hungry. It's pretty easy to cook pasta, but a good sauce is way more useful.

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.

Being a food show and being me, I always kicked it up a notch, which means I would always elevate the spice level or the complexity of a particular dish. So, it was always like we're going to kick this up a little bit.
