I Guess I Fell Into Cooking.

I Probably Use My Chef's Knives More Than Any Other Tool In The Kitchen. I'm Not Married To A Particular Brand, Because They All Work, They All Have Sharp Blades.

Most Of The Time, I Grill Over High Heat. I Like Things To Move Fast. I Like The Sound And Smell Of A Very Hot Fire. I Gravitate Towards Dishes That You Can Get On And Off The Grill As Quickly As Possible. After A While, You'll Know Without Thinking About It How Hot The Fire Is.

I Love Working With Big Flavors Like Chiles And Smoke. Honey Is Perfect For Softening The Edges, Mellowing Them Out A Bit. I Put It In Everything - Vinaigrettes, Soups, Stocks, Salsas, So I'm Always On The Hunt For Great Honey.

Don't Underestimate The Importance Of Having Enough Room To Work. Grilling Is Much More Relaxing When You Are Not Trying To Juggle A Whole Collection Of Plates And Bowls As You Do It. If Your Grill Doesn't Have Enough Workspace - And They Almost Never Do - Set Up A Table Right Next To Your Grill.
