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

Most seasonings are based on family tradition.

I grew up in Austria, and for me real comfort food is Wiener Schnitzel. Wiener Schnitzel and mashed potatoes because it reminds me of my youth... It reminds me when I grow up and it feels very comforting.

The food could taste amazing; however, if you present a plate of misfortunate looking food...you would really question yourself about whether or not you should eat it.

For me, I don't expect to have a really amazing meal each time I dine out. Having a good meal with your loved ones - that's what makes the experience.

I think the time of the formal dinners is over.

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.
