My New Year's resolution is to cut my diet sodas down to two cans a day!

Well, cooking starts with shopping. If the ingredients are not good, you don't do it. Just change your mind and do something else.

Fast food is both evil and genius. Because of it we can feed a large number of people fairly decently at an affordable price. However, all the artificial flavors and artificial ingredients in some of their products are unacceptable. And it's designed so you can eat fast so you get back to work more quickly. Not good.

The fish is the star of the plate.

You don't become a chef to become famous.

I don't like it when I go to a restaurant and I'm lectured from the menu.

We lived in St. Tropez when I was young, and there were a lot of Vietnamese refugees in France at the time, after the war. My mother had many Vietnamese friends who entertained a lot, and she was taught how to make that spring roll. She would make them all the time.
