When I'm cooking for myself, I find that I eat almost completely vegetarian, although I'm not vegetarian.

Because I travel so much, I bring my workout clothes and shoes wherever I go. That way I can always do some exercise.

It's better to get the nutrients for healthy skin from food, not supplements. Salmon, walnuts, blueberries, spinach... lots of my favorite foods happen to be amazing for skin too.

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.

Patience was not something that came naturally to me, but in cooking it is the quintessential skill.

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 try to keep up a consistent workout routine, but I'm not the kind of person who goes to the gym every day and does the same routine.

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.
