Food Television Opened The Eyes, And Palates,

I Love Strong Flavors Too. Like I Don't Mind If It Looks Clean And Clear And You Know What You Are Eating If It Has Italian, Chinese Or Japanese Flavor I Love Them All.

I Think The Most Important Thing When You Are In A Competition And You Have, Let's Say, Ingredients You Have To Use Make Something You Did Already Because None Of The Judges, You Know, Probably Had It In Our Lifetime, So I Think Do Something You Feel Confident With, Not Something Completely New Where You Are Not Sure How Many Hours Or How Many Minutes You Have To Cook It Or If The Seasoning Is Right Or If The Combinations Of Spices And Herbs Are Right.

Collecting Cookbooks Is Still My Biggest Passion! Believe It Or Not, I Actually Got The Biggest Form Of Inspiration From My Kids. My Kids Do Everything Online. They Would Have Their Tablets In Front Of Them Watching Hours Upon Hours Of Online Videos. I Came To Understand That These Videos Were Actually Teaching My Kids Lots Of Different Forms Of Information.

When You Meet Someone, Ask About What Hobby They Have, Not What They Do. People Always Ask Me About Cooking, But I Prefer To Talk About Tennis Or Boxing.

I Think It's Really Important To Keep On Staying Motivated.
