I have a daughter who has taught me a lot along the way.

I've had the privilege of having a lot of amazing people cook for me.

It stuns me how effective children can be in their messaging, and I believe that every child should enjoy that basic right to become an adult. Getting rid of childhood cancers is one effective way to reach that goal.

Who doesn't love a stuffed cherry tomato?

I wouldn't call being a chef gratifying in a lot of ways. It's an act of love.

I'm interested in food and sharing my passion with a community of like-minded people. All of the celebrity stuff that comes along with that is just an incidental byproduct of being able to do what I love for a living.
