I didn't want to do just another set of recipes. I think that's useless.

One of my missions was to teach.

My mother would put me on a wooden box at the stove and tell me to call her if certain things would happen. Like if the steam turns blue, that is danger!

Creole is New Orleans city food. Communities were created by the people who wanted to stay and not go back to Spain or France.

When I travel I normally eat club sandwiches or I bring my own food. When you go into a new town, it's very had to find a good place to eat.

We trust something in a grocery store and assume it's good. We don't learn about the most precious thing in life-the food we put in our body. Educate yourself!

We didn't do wrong things because we didn't want to embarrass our parents.
