I tell everybody the same thing: You have to make every dish so when you taste it, you should remember it when you go home.

I have two young boys, and my wife is at home. Most of the time, I will cook the food, and we'll eat together.

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.

A lot of chefs are traditional and do it very well. But the ones who are the most successful are the ones who change things. That is why someone like Heston Blumenthal is a genius.

It is going to have healthy food and exercise mixed together. With smaller portions, and more exercise, you live a better life.

Young people want to be famous before they know how to cook, before they know how to treat people, before they know what hospitality means. I stayed in France for seven years and Austria for three, so before I was a chef anywhere I was already cooking for 10 years.

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.
