I always say that environment always affects the food.

I get a lot of my inspiration from my family, but I never got to meet my dad's dad.

I was always a kid trying to make a buck. I borrowed a dollar from my dad, went to the penny candy store, bought a dollar's worth of candy, set up my booth, and sold candy for five cents apiece. Ate half my inventory, made $2.50, gave my dad back his dollar.

Some people are just born to cook and talk.

Cooking with kids is not just about ingredients, recipes, and cooking. It's about harnessing imagination, empowerment, and creativity.

If you slow it down, eat in courses, your body, mind, stomach will catch up with this full feeling and you won't eat as much.

Short of screaming-hot Thai food, everything can be suitable for kids too.
