Collecting cookbooks is still my biggest passion! Believe it or not, I actually got the biggest form of inspiration from my kids. My kids do everything online. They would have their tablets in front of them watching hours upon hours of online videos. I came to understand that these videos were actually teaching my kids lots of different forms of information.

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

Don't go and cook Indian food if you never cooked Indian food, you know?

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

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.

One of the things I've found now, not just for television, but in the restaurant, is that you have many anxious chefs, who know how to cook twenty recipes really well, but they don't have a good foundation for other things.

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