I'm A Sucker For Fried Chicken -

I'm An Immigrant Kid Who Came To America From India When I Was Very Young And Grew Up In New York City With A Single Mom And Really Was Influenced By All Of Those Immigrant Cultures Bumping Up Against Each Other.

I Am As Omnivorous As It's Possible To Be. I Always Say There's Nothing I Won't Eat And Nothing I Won't Wear.

Wine, Like Food, Is So Emotional. If You Think About It, So Much Of The Courting Ritual Is Surrounded By Wine And Food. There's A Built-in Romance To Wine.

An Oil Massage, A Hot Bath, A Good Night's Sleep, Soft Smells And Music And Clothes With Soft Textures Denote Sensuality To Me.

From The Simple Stringing Together Of Lemon Garlands For The Goddess Durga, To Dividing The Prasadam Or Blessed Foods For The Children First, I Came To Associate Food Not Only With Feminity, But Also With Purity And Divinity.
