A Mother's Ability To Provide For Her

When I Was Growing Up In Mississippi - It Was Good Southern Food... But I Also Grew Up With A Greek Family; When Other Kids Were Eating Fried Okra, We Were Eating Steamed Artichokes. So I Think It Played A Big Part In My Healthy Cooking.

I Add A Lot Of Citrus To My Food And I Think That Flavors It. And, To Me, That What Makes It Healthier, Lower In Fat, Lower In Calories. It Adds Lots Of Flavor. Spices, Of Course. But Citrus Is Definitely Kind Of My Go-to To Season And Really To Really Make Those Flavors, Make That Food Come Alive.

I've Been Experimenting More And More With Ln2, Liquid Nitrogen. I've Used It In Battle On 'iron Chef America,' But Have Also Made Some Great Ice Creams At Home For My Family. Since It Freezes Basically On Contact, You Can Have Ice Cream Ready In Mere Minutes.

Set Yourself Up For Success From The Very Beginning And Then Focus On Maintaining That Success.

I Think People Are More Savvy About Cooking, Food And Dining. I Notice They Are Looking For More Value For Their Money - Not In Larger Portions But More In Terms Of Healthier, Fresh, Farm-to-table Dishes With A Nice Presentation.
