As a chef and activist, I'm particularly concerned with food politics issues such as the farm bill.

I'm a big believer in the negligee, that nearly invisible screen standing between you and the object of your desire.

Cooking with your kids and engaging them in hands-on activities are two ways to begin to educate children about the healthy eating, and kick start the important task to help change how the younger generation looks at food and nutrition.

For many of us, clean water is so plentiful and readily available that we rarely, if ever, pause to consider what life would be like without it.

People come up to me all the time and ask how I stay the way I am, and it's no secret. The first lesson a chef needs to learn is how to handle a knife; the second is how to be around all that food.

If you're cooking for someone important - whether it's your boss or a date - never try a new recipe and a new ingredient at the same time.

It will always be trendy to do the right thing with food.
