The thing about homebodies is that they can usually be found at home. I usually am, and I like to feed people.

Unlike some people who love to go out, I love to stay home.

I am not a fancy cook or an ambitious cook. I am a plain old cook.

I myself am not particularly interested in restaurant cooking. I don't really want to learn how to make a napoleon. I'd much rather learn how to make a very good lemon cake, which you can make in your own home. I like plain, old-fashioned home food.

Cooking is like anything else: some people have an inborn talent for it. Some become expert by practicing, and some learn from books.

Cooking is like love. You don't have to be particularly beautiful or very glamorous, or even very exciting to fall in love. You just have to be interested in it. It's the same thing with food.
