A lot of restaurants serve good food, but they don't have very good service.

The usage of proper salt is really just a small piece of education. However, I want people to really get the proper nutrition from food for them and their family.

I've discussed this with many doctors, and it is just so imperative that people learn how to properly cook food to get those vital nutrients out of them.

My passion for writing cookbooks really came from my love of collecting cookbooks.

For me, cooking is an expression of the land where you are and the culture of that place.

Prep things in advance so that you don't have to cook everything at the last moment.

Now everybody thinks that once you do Top Chef, then 13 weeks later you're a chef. Nobody wants to learn to cook anymore.
