If you're feeling adventurous, grill up some marinated octopus. It's so healthy.

People get a little bolder and more wild in summer. You've got things going on kabobs, things cooking on the bone. There's something about standing over a grill or outside with the family that inspires us.

Some people are just born to cook and talk.

I'm like anybody else. You get enough, you can get beat up. You can get hurt. You can get frustrated. You can get demoralized.

I was raised not so much in a puritan environment, but for the most part, a pretty healthy one.

My sister and I cooked a lot together; my sister was a very healthy vegetarian. She was always a real good teacher for me about organics, recycling, composting -whenever you hear me talk about it, it's usually because of my sister's influence.
