What I don't like is breakfast in the morning. I have a double-espresso cappuccino, but no food.

I won't quit my day job. I like restaurants. I don't do a lot of television, either, even though people come to me with projects all the time. I have to spend time in the kitchen.

I used to write cookbooks. It was passion to try to bring healthy and fun recipes to people's homes. It was a way to bring my home to theirs.

Cooking is like painting or writing a song. Just as there are only so many notes or colors, there are only so many flavors - it's how you combine them that sets you apart.

You can eat an omelet at midnight, at lunchtime, all day long. It's perfect for every occasion.

I want to teach [people] the secret of great visual presentation. Your stomach sees the food first, and I want to help them match food flavor profiles with the aesthetics of everything.

I think I generally try to buy the best quality and keep it simple. I don't try to make too many decorations, too many things with it.
