There are few women in America that don't want to lose 5 pounds, but I refuse to let that thought dominate my life. And there are too many other real problems in the world - real obesity problems and real hunger problems - to worry that much about a few pounds that I'd like to lose.

In America, Blackberry Farm in Tennessee is one of the most amazing hotels I've had the privilege of staying at.

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!

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.

Like baseball, food will never go out of style; we will always need to eat and we will always find it entertaining. I think of food TV this way - all the fun and none of the calories.

You don't get second chances in the real world.

There is no better way to bring people together than with desserts.
