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

My friends and my family are such a massive part of my life. My kids are everything.

Cooking is like snow skiing: If you don't fall at least 10 times, then you're not skiing hard enough.

My philosophy is "Where is it written that at 40 you give up all your toys?" If I'm still having a great time doing something, I'm going to keep on doing it.

I'm a "what you see is what you get" kind of guy. I don't have any time to be showing anybody any bag of tricks.

Some people are just born to cook and talk.

Kids want to saute, to cut the pizza, to see how the ingredients come together. If you let them do the fun stuff, they'll develop skills and interests that will stay with them forever.
