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.

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

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.

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.

Canada is a big part of my life.

I run a solid 4-6 miles at a time, and over the last year two years I've gotten really into SoulCycle. It's sort of an evolved form of spinning.

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.
