I never do the dishes, because my husband has an affinity for it. And I'm also not allowed to touch the coffeemaker.

I write in freehand equivalents because measuring, to me, takes away from the creative process of cooking. Two turns of the pan with EVOO is about two tablespoons.

That's a horrible thought. I guess cheese or wine. I think I might be too depressed to eat if I had to eat only one thing for the rest of my life.

You know, food is such - it's a hug for people.

EVOO is extra-virgin olive oil. I first coined 'EVOO' on my cooking show because saying 'extra virgin olive oil' over and over was wordy, and I'm an impatient girl - that's why I make 30-minute meals!

I have a fat head - I get freaked-out looking at pictures of me.

My dream job is to be a rock drummer and the alternate drummer for the Foo Fighters.
