It's funny, the whole cooking thing came out of just a random thought of writing a cookbook with my mom and my sister for fun.

When you're sick, nobody takes care of you like your mom.

I was an A student and I liked creative writing.

I've never been the girl that's had the five-year plan, the 10-year plan and I'm still not.

I love potatoes - they're my favorite food.

I don't spend time wondering what might be next; I just focus on trying to savor every day.

I almost never make stuff out of cookbooks because they're either too complicated or there's an ingredient in there that I can't find.
