cup great love
I love having a croissant and a great cup of coffee. Just one cup.
cannot cooking develop generation great greater importance interest involve lifetime nutrition risks teach unhealthy
I cannot stress a greater importance than to teach the young generation about the risks of unhealthy eating. A great way to pique their interest in nutrition is to involve them more in the cooking process. They not only will learn to cook for themselves, but also develop a lifetime of healthy habits.
dinner dishes great options pasta quick
Not only are pasta dishes delicious, but they are also great, easy options for a quick dinner during a busy weekday.
divides food good great listen music tastes
I don't distinguish the music I listen to from great music - it's just music. There shouldn't be an announcement that divides our food between what tastes good and what is good for us.
bar blown charlie chicago cookbooks elements gray great learning love published pure time wrote
I love cookbooks for completely different reasons. I love 'The Harry's Bar Cookbook' and Marco-Pierre White's 'White Heat' for their feel. For pure learning, Gray Kunz wrote a great cookbook, 'The Elements of Taste', published in 2001. The first time I read Charlie Trotter's, the Chicago chef's first cookbook, I was blown away.

Packing lunches and going over menus is a great way to make small changes in the way your kids eat.

I had great schooling, and my parents were always in front of me, or next to me, or behind me, making sure I had whatever I needed.

I started cooking for the love of cooking, and I am going to keep cooking whether there's a celebrity aspect to it or not.

Criticism is part of the creative man's journey, and I appreciate it.

Each city should have its own type of restaurant.

The Swedish Christmas is definitely unique, even throughout Scandinavia. Like Christmas everywhere, it's a very family-centered holiday.

I've lived all over the world, but Harlem is very special to me, and when I decided to open a restaurant near my home, I didn't want it to be business as usual.
