I cook mostly vegetarian vegetable and bean stews. Quinoa salads. I make my mother-in-law's recipe for chicken and barley stew all the time.

I eat for a living, so working out is definitely part of my job, the same way that the eating, tasting, and drinking is.

I have a mantra in my head that there will always be another meal. I can put my fork down, knowing there will be good things in my future!

Eating a lot is an occupational hazard but it's a pretty great problem to have. I spend a lot of time eating sweets on TV - cake, cupcakes, donuts, and pudding. It's a dream job, but at the same time there will be days where I wake up knowing I will eat 15 desserts!

You know, I lose patience really easily; I'd rather shop in the grocery store than in the department store. I can pick an apple like nobody's business.

At the beginning of the week, I roast a ton of vegetables so I can use them for the next few days. I also plan out meals in advance.

I always want my guests to be happy and impressed.
