Everything I do for magazine I pound out in 15 to 16 hours. I sit down at 11 a.m., get up at 1 in the morning and I'm done.
If there are celebrities, they can't just come on and talk about their movie. It's come on and tell them how to get picky eaters to eat. Where do they hide their junk when people come over?
If you're humble and hardworking, opportunities will arise for you.
NASA asked me to create meals for the space shuttle. Thai chicken was the favorite. I flew in a fake space shuttle, but I have no desire to go into space after seeing the toilet.
The most essential part of my day is a proper dinner.
Make big pots of soups, stews and chilis - they stretch a buck, and you can live off them for days!
It only looks like I get to eat a lot of food on TV. I really just get the one bite and the crew and guests eat everything else.
I don't categorize food as bad or a guilty pleasure.
What I've learned is that at the end of the day, we are all human. We all have that in common.
That's a horrible thought. I guess cheese or wine. I think I might be too depressed to eat if I had to eat only one thing for the rest of my life.
I have this extraordinary life during the day, and then I get to come home to my sweet husband who loves to cook with me. I have a nice glass of wine, he has some scotch, we chat, we cook, and we hang out with the dog. I have an absolute dream life.
My dream job is to be a rock drummer and the alternate drummer for the Foo Fighters.
I have a fat head - I get freaked-out looking at pictures of me.
Yum-O! I say this if something is so good that 'yum' just isn't enough of an exclamation. The accent is on the 'O' as in, 'Oh! That is so good!'
