One of the things I do in my cookbooks is I will do a conversion from outdoor to indoor grilling so you can do it year-round.

My years of living the jet-set life were fun, but they weren't fulfilling. The perks and benefits were lovely, but all of the fabulous furs, fancy jewelry and fun fetes simply weren't enough to fill my soul.

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

My secret to survival has been embracing life's challenges and not letting them dictate my frame of mind or determine my fate... Learning to stand strong in the face of challenge and adversity is the only way to get through the tough times.

I like doing food as a focal point on my table. It is not like going out and buying flowers or candles, which are expensive.

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

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.
