People Want Honest, Flavourful Food, Not Some

I Had A Really Good Time With Martha Stewart, Who Also Is Somebody I Really Admire A Lot. I've Learned A Lot From Her And I Think All Of America Has, About Attention To Detail And Using Fresh Ingredients And Making Things Beautiful And Special.

Believe Me, I Understand The Need For Easy And Speedy. After A 12-hour Day Of Shooting 'chopped,' Say, I'm Talking Stir-fry, Spaghetti, Heck, Peanut-butter Sandwiches. But That's Not About The Joy Of Food. That's Survival.

My Whole Problem Is That All Of My Favorite Things At Thanksgiving Are The Starches, And Everyone Is Trying To Go Low-carb This Year, Even A Green Vegetable Has Carbs In It.

It's Okay If You Finish Cooking Something Easy After Your Guests Arrive - Some Dishes Must Be Prepared A La Minute, As Chefs Say. Just Remember To Keep Talking.

In Recent Years, I've Been Writing Because I'm Fortunate Enough To Work In The World Of Food Television, To Travel And Taste And Learn About Cooking From The Best Chefs In The Business.
