Baking is how you start kids at cooking in the kitchen.

When I came to the Food Network, I didn't want to do a cooking show. I told Kathleen Finch for nine months I didn't want to do a cooking show, I wanted to do a home-and-garden show.

Christmas is more stressful with present buying and making sure everyone gets included, but Thanksgiving is really not that. I don't ever really get stressed out about the food.

I can certainly be part of the socialite group and walk those carpets every day, but I choose not to because I prefer to be grounded. You can't be at home and on the red carpet.

I didn’t even cry, I was stunned. You know, and that’s just how fast life turns. It turns on a dime.

If you've attended the Cordon Bleu, you would know that no woman is supposed to be a chef - only men.

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