Cucumber reminds me of my mother making me eat sprouts.
I've never said I was a chef - I think I make great food. I will never open a restaurant to do, like, tasting courses.
I love being at home and creating in the kitchen.
My mom has a rare talent for being able to open up the refrigerator, and with the peas, the leftover eggs, the cream, the spinach, the cheese, and a little rice, she can just whip up incredible risotto.
I like being at home and cooking.
Normally, I like to eat at home. We don't go out much. The food at home is so good.
There's nothing like a home-cooked meal - nothing! When people ask me what the best restaurant in L.A. is, I say, 'Uh, my house.' It's more intimate. Food can connect people in a forever sort of way.
There are so many food shows, really beautiful ones, that exist to elevate professional cooking and professional chefs. But there aren't that many that really celebrate home cooking or are for home cooks especially.
I rarely eat outside.
