I'm a healthy weight for my height, and I like how I look on most days.

Balance is key in cooking - you want a little acid, a little sweet, a little savory - the flavors should be harmonious.

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 would not say I'm an aggressive shopper. I want to be; I aspire to be an aggressive shopper. I am a meek, meek shopper.

I had decided I wanted to write about food, and I knew the only way to do that is to speak with authority, which meant learning the language and knowing what that experience is like.

I always want my guests to be happy and impressed.

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.
