I did skit comedy online for many years, beginning around 2001. Around 2006 I started watching a lot of food television and got re-interested in food. I come from a very food-obsessed family. But I also wanted to do my own thing, which was the comedy.

Dinner is often a stew of beans or legumes, which are awesome for dieting; they give you that meaty satisfaction and both are excellent with whole grain rice or bread.

North America was ready for something other than a vanilla cooking show and we were providing the double dark chocolate fudge.

Often with television, particularly with lifestyle entertainment, they really try and box you in.

Like the old Italian saying goes, 'It ain't rocket surgery.

I'm addicted to laughing. I go to see a lot of comedy shows. I'm addicted to playing really loud and obnoxious rock music in my car. I'm addicted to beautiful clothes and shoes. I just love gorgeous stuff and work hard to acquire pretty things, shiny things. I'm addicted to shiny things!

I was a ravenous child. I'm a ravenous adult. I love to eat.
