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.

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

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

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

My most cherished possessions are my grandma's letters and my vintage Martha Washington cookbook.
