My Family Truly Believes They Are Better

Food Brings People Together On Many Different Levels. It's Nourishment Of The Soul And Body; It's Truly Love.

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.

It's More Intimate. Food Can Connect People In A Forever Sort Of Way.

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 Think Children Learning To Cook Can Be Such A Wonderful Thing. It Can Help Build Confidence, Make Them Feel Good About Themselves. It Helped Me Build My Ego And Even Start To Get Acceptance At School. I'd Bring Things To Class That I'd Cooked At Home.
