Just like keeping a healthy diet is important to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, eating the right foods is just as important for getting the most out of your workout.

I happen to love coconut, particularly for that sweet and crunchy texture it adds to any dish.

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.

I feel very fortunate that I was raised in a multicultural family, and it came through food.

We struggle with eating healthily, obesity, and access to good nutrition for everyone. But we have a great opportunity to get on the right side of this battle by beginning to think differently about the way that we eat and the way that we approach food.

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