My mother's kitchen was built to be the focal point of our house. I got into the kitchen often as a child.

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.

Patience is the secret to good food.

I eat for a living, so working out is definitely part of my job, the same way that the eating, tasting, and drinking is.

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 don't get second chances in the real world.

There's not a single chef I know of that does not think about the politics of the food they're serving.
