Food to me, in one word, is 'creativity' or 'expression.' It's simply, 'This is who I am at this point in time, and this is what I want to cook for you.'

I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.

I love good food. I'm an epicurean, that's for sure... But I am not really a good cook.

To become a good cook is to know yourself, and I, at this point, know myself. I know myself, and I know the cook I want to be and the cook I am striving to be.

I am told that the first comprehensible word I uttered as a child was 'home.'

I want to reclaim who I am.
