People will travel anywhere for good food - it's crazy.

I'm a bit of a glutton - I eat too much of all that is good to eat.

I've never had anything but the freedom to do what I wanted just as long as it made me happy.

All of the people who work in the kitchen with me go out into the forests and on to the beach. It's a part of their job. If you work with me you will often be starting your day in the forest or on the shore because I believe foraging will shape you as a chef.

The first book was out and for the first time we were on a book tour. Being the son of an immigrant, I'd never dreamt of being on book tours. Suddenly the attention was huge.

I still cook at home. A lot of chefs I think don't cook at home. But I still do, I love cooking at home, I love having friends.

If you see someone in the kitchen that has good hands and a quick brain, then you need that person to be in the front of everything.
