In truth, I am a single mother. But I don't feel alone at all in parenting my daughter. Krishna has a whole other side of her family who loves her, too. And so Krishna is parented by me, but also by her grandmother and aunts and cousins and uncles and friends.

I'm the kind of girl who thinks about what she's gonna cook for dinner when she's finishing her lunch.

I am a sufferer of endometriosis. I didn't want any young women to go through what I went through. I thought that people should know about it.

An oil massage, a hot bath, a good night's sleep, soft smells and music and clothes with soft textures denote sensuality to me.

Flowers die and wine gets consumed. Both are lovely. I appreciate both. Wine and roses. I actually had someone bring me a lobe of foie gras once.

All chefs are like Jewish mothers. They want to feed you and feed you and impress you. It's an eagerness to please.
