I Have This Extraordinary Life During The

When You Really Want To Show Some Love, Keep The Flowers And Say It With Spaghetti.

I Used To Work In Kitchens, Doing 12 Or More Hours A Day Of Physical Labor, So Today, Eight To 12 Hours Of Cooking, Chatting Or Filming Feels Like A Vacation. When I Have A Scheduled 'day Off,' I Spend Several Hours Writing, Then I Clean Until I Crash From Fatigue. I Don't Relax Well.

I Am Burger Obsessed And I Love Playing With The Idea Of What A Burger Can Be For People. I Make Burgers Out Of Everything From Grains To Seafood To, Of Course, Browned Meats Of Every Kind. What I Love About The Burger Is It Makes Food Accessible And Fun For Everyone.

I Did 30 Minute Meals For Five Years On Local Television, And I Earned Nothing The First Two Years. Then I Earned $50 A Segment. I Spent More Than That On Gas And Groceries, But I Really Enjoyed Making The Show And I Loved Going To A Viewer's House Each Week. I Knew I Enjoyed It, So I Stuck With It Even Though It Cost Me.

I Do 280 Episodes Of Tv A Year, Write 15 Recipes For The Magazine, And Publish An Annual Book. With All Of That, We Try To Get One Weekend A Month With Isaboo At Our Home In The Adirondacks To Relax And Recharge.
