Pretty Much Every Time I Try Something

People Say, "what Happens In Vegas Stays In Vegas." Because People Do Wild And Crazy Things In Vegas That They Probably Wouldn't Do Any Other Time. Which Is Why I Feel Like, If You're Gonna Open Your First Restaurant, This Might Be The Place To Do It.

To A Billion People Around The World Surviving On Just A Dollar A Day, The Question Of What To Eat Tonight Is More About Life And Death Than About Recipes. The Struggle Of Poor People Around The Globe Weighs Heavily On Me, Especially Now That I Am A Mother, Which Is Why I Work With Oxfam.

I'm Actually A Very Shy Person, Which Is Why I Always Chose To Be In The Kitchen. You Can Make People Happy And Entertain Them, Without Really Being There. You Can Make A Very Short Appearance And Then Say, 'i've Got Something On The Stove, Gotta Go!

My Grandfather Gave Me Inspiration To Cook, And Love Food And Flavors. My Aunt Raffie, Gave Me Creativity And The Inspiration To Create New Things. My Mother Inspires Me To Find Simplicity In Food.

I Grew Up In The Kitchen, Mostly With My Grandfather, My Mother And My Aunt Raffy.
