I always want my guests to be happy and impressed.

My mother's kitchen was built to be the focal point of our house. I got into the kitchen often as a child.

You can't fake being able to cook well.

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!

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