"My book, "Gran Cocina Latina: The Food of Latin America", is a product of the US, because I could buy every ingredient I needed in a short distance from my home in New Jersey." [08:05]
"Deconstruction doesn't work for me. Some foods require a matrix and there's a synergy when the elements are combined." [23:00]
"You have to think about Latin America food as part of a constellation." [28:00]

"Jewish food is...linked to Jewish customs and ideas that go way back in history."
"I think pork is a huge challenge, because it has such a distinct flavor and bacon is so pervasive in the food movement right now. Recreating that flavor is very challenging."
"There are people in the Kosher world who are excited about change, and there are people who are still hesitant."
--Devra Ferst, food editor at The Forward on Taste Matters
