I never taste the wine first in restaurants, I just ask the waiter to pour.

I'm not much of a drinker. I'm an eater more than a drinker. So I feel that I don't have to wait to get a hangover in order to eat these.

Emotion is messy, contradictory... and true.

I don't believe you can ever really cook unless you love eating.

Tension translates to your guests. They'll have a much better time having chili and baked potatoes than they would if you did roast duck with a wild cherry sauce and then had to lie down and cry for a while.
