I never Tweet about my daughter. Never. I just want to be respectful of her privacy. My job as a mom is to know when to open my mouth and when not to.

I have a great career, and I have my daughter. Sio what I don't have is not as important to as what I do have.

People always comment about my clothes. They don't think a fashionable woman can love food and be knowledgeable and actually cook.

I always loved my bangles, I can't remember a time when I didn't have a bangle on.

Where is it written that a smart woman can't also be stacked?

I think wine is such a big universe that it's kind of like food - it's intimidating to a lot of people, myself included.

The cookbooks and the writing in general have been a real bonus, but it's not something I've ever pursued... I've been lucky, I guess.
