Baking is how you start kids at cooking in the kitchen. It's fun whether it's baking bread or cookies. With baking, you have to be exact when it comes to ingredients.

How do I cope with stress? I clean and organize.

Why I have had such a huge career and why I have sold over four million books, is that people can do what I share with them to do.

Instead of doing cinnamon, nutmeg, and all those baking spices I'll have one spice that's for sweets, and that's pumpkin pie spice.

My audience knows me, and I wear beautiful clothes as a badge of honor. They remember where I came from.

I'm the only girl on The Food Network who grills - I have two bestselling grilling books. I try to really focus on what men and women can do outside together out on the grill. I think it's really fun to have men and women out there together, having fun, working and enjoying themselves.

I like to create what I call 'tablescapes.' It's so much more fun when you organize your table around a theme, don't you think?
