helping
I want to help build their basic food terminology.
exercise healthy together
It is going to have healthy food and exercise mixed together. With smaller portions, and more exercise, you live a better life.
believe teaching inspiration
Collecting cookbooks is still my biggest passion! Believe it or not, I actually got the biggest form of inspiration from my kids. My kids do everything online. They would have their tablets in front of them watching hours upon hours of online videos. I came to understand that these videos were actually teaching my kids lots of different forms of information.
writing passion cookbook
My passion for writing cookbooks really came from my love of collecting cookbooks.
fun writing passion
I used to write cookbooks. It was passion to try to bring healthy and fun recipes to people's homes. It was a way to bring my home to theirs.
strong italian chinese
I love strong flavors too. Like I don't mind if it looks clean and clear and you know what you are eating if it has Italian, Chinese or Japanese flavor I love them all.
simple thinking trying
I think I generally try to buy the best quality and keep it simple. I don't try to make too many decorations, too many things with it.
Don't go and cook Indian food if you never cooked Indian food, you know?
people secret helping
I want to teach [people] the secret of great visual presentation. Your stomach sees the food first, and I want to help them match food flavor profiles with the aesthetics of everything.
The food could taste amazing; however, if you present a plate of misfortunate looking food...you would really question yourself about whether or not you should eat it.
home boys wife
I have two young boys, and my wife is at home. Most of the time, I will cook the food, and we'll eat together.
people different chef
Omelets are about technique. Now, different people make it different ways, but, if you're a chef in Europe, an omelet has to be cooked on the outside, with just a simmer of color, and the inside has to be soft. It should be cooked like a steak - medium rare.
morning espresso breakfast
What I don't like is breakfast in the morning. I have a double-espresso cappuccino, but no food.
lasts moments preps
Prep things in advance so that you don't have to cook everything at the last moment.
