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.

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

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

A good chef has to be a manager, a businessman and a great cook. To marry all three together is sometimes difficult.

Nutrition is just so important to me, mostly especially for children.

For example, you can eat a Caesar salad and say, "Wow, I ate so healthy today." You forget there was a quarter-cup of oil in there, and all the calories are from fat. So it's better if you eat a grilled chicken breast, some steamed brown rice, and a little salad with balsamic vinegar on top.

I fell in love with food because of my mother. So, I will definitely be sharing and expanding more recipes from my culture (as well as many other cultures), and will be sharing recipes that I have experienced from my whole culinary life.
