Why would any sensible human being put meat filled with ammonia in the mouths of their children?

The kitchen oven is reliable, but it's made us lazy.

I hate making TV documentaries.

What I've enjoyed most, though, is meeting people who have a real interest in food and sharing ideas with them. Good food is a global thing and I find that there is always something new and amazing to learn - I love it!

I'm probably a bit romantic about it, but I think we humans miss having contact with fire. We need it.

But I read Catching Fire. I loved disappearing into a story.

I want Americans to enjoy food. I want them to celebrate food. I want them to, on occasions, to have big cakes and great things. And I want them to indulge.
