Italian food is all about ingredients and it's not fussy and it's not fancy.

I want to teach people how to do it the right way. And it is from that they can teach their children how to do it properly. It will teach them how to cook better and healthier at home.

I love strong flavors too. Like I don't mind if it looks clean and clear and you know what you are eating if it has Italian, Chinese or Japanese flavor I love them all.

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.

Television in the '80s was very limited. There was no Food Network.

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

Omelets are about technique. Now, different people make it different ways, but, if you're a chef in Europe, an omelet has to be cooked on the outside, with just a simmer of color, and the inside has to be soft. It should be cooked like a steak - medium rare.
