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

Only you can judge your life. You have to live up to your own expectations.

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, cooking is an expression of the land where you are and the culture of that place.

Thirty-five years ago, being a cook was the same as being a used-car salesman.

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.

Prep things in advance so that you don't have to cook everything at the last moment.
