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

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

Ultimately, I realized that in order to write about food you need to understand everything about cooking, so I moved to New York and enrolled in the Institute of Culinary Education.

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

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!

The less you do to beautiful food, the better it's going to taste. You don't need to mess with it all the time.
