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

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.

Whenever I'm in sync with the trends, it's always an accident. I still love wearing clothes I've had for ten years. I think understated luxury is the chicest thing.

There are two schools of fried chicken. One is brining in salted water and the other is soaking in either buttermilk or milk. I just combine the two.

I always think, after the second glass of wine, you should be putting something in your stomach.

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

I know most people use their phones to tell time, but there's something very romantic and beautiful about a timepiece.
