Attitudes toward food have completely changed.

Don't expect too much from yourself. What I like to do when I have a day off is make various cookie doughs and freeze them. Then I always have that on hand if I need it.

Pasta doesn't make you fat. How much pasta you eat makes you fat.

I'm actually a very shy person, which is why I always chose to be in the kitchen. You can make people happy and entertain them, without really being there. You can make a very short appearance and then say, 'I've got something on the stove, gotta go!

I think you can tell the food is close to my heart, too, because I'm doing what I do best.

As long as you're eating well and moving your body every day, age is just a state of mind

Food brings people together on many different levels. It's nourishment of the soul and body; it's truly love.
