Yes, I love white, and I'd wear it all the time if I could. Some people think I have an issue with cleanliness, but to me it's just so pretty.

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

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.

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?

I'm an activist for gay marriage equality and children's rights. I'm the face of Share Our Strength.

The issue I have always felt most strongly about is hunger in America, in particular the children.
