"I grew up surrounded by farmers, in tune with the seasons, shopping with my mom and cooking at home every single day."

"Life has a plan for every one of us. Sometimes we try to fight that plan - but I try to go along with the plan."

"I believe food is an important issue. It's beyond sharing a great bottle of champagne or food with friends - it's much more powerful than that...I'm trying to change the lives of people through the power of food."

"I always follow the flow of life - and life takes me to fascinating places."
