If there are celebrities, they can't just come on and talk about their movie. It's come on and tell them how to get picky eaters to eat. Where do they hide their junk when people come over?
People know me for my love of food, but I have so much more I want to share. Our show's going to be all about taking a bigger bite out of life. I want people to see themselves in this show because life is full of messes and successes, and getting there is half the fun.

Food was always a conduit in our family for storytelling, and it was a way for us to keep in touch and remember things. We're people that use food to keep each other together and to always cheer us up and make all of our days better.

Everything I do for magazine I pound out in 15 to 16 hours. I sit down at 11 a.m., get up at 1 in the morning and I'm done.
