I like to make Arroz con Gandules, rice with pigeon peas. My husband loves it. It's a Puerto Rican dish my mother taught me.

I don't call myself Latin, I call myself Puerto Rican.

I'm not messing with skiing. You can't get this Puerto Rican on the slope. Uh-uh.

After 35, I felt like I'd been in these relationships; some were great, some weren't so great, but they weren't right partnerships.

The first Latin music that blew my mind was bumba, which was a Puerto Rican beat.

My mother likes what I cook, but doesn't think it's French. My wife is Puerto Rican and Cuban, so I eat rice and beans. We have a place in Mexico, but people think I'm the quintessential French chef.
