In Italy, they add work and life on to food and wine.
The table is a meeting place, a gathering ground, the source of sustenance and nourishment, festivity, safety, and satisfaction. A person cooking is a person giving: Even the simplest food is a gift.
Every time you use the word ‘healthy,’ you lose. The key is to make yummy, delicious food that happens to be healthy.
I grew up in Lucknow, which is famous for its street food and kebabs. It was the street food and Lucknowi kebabs that inspired me. The culture of the varieties of food that I tasted as a child inspired me to be a cook.
You can’t go wrong with relatively simple comfort food. It’s also about ease. Some cook to impress. I cook for people to enjoy the food.
Appetite, craving for food, is a constant and powerful stimulator of the gastric glands.
I take care of my flowers and my cats. And enjoy food. And that’s living.
Most fast food is fried. Fried food tastes great, and people don’t seem to care about the fat aspect.
My favorite food is macaroni and cheese that my grandma makes. My favorite drink has to be Vita Coco coconut water.
You know, food is such – it’s a hug for people.
To me, food is as much about the moment, the occasion, the location and the company as it is about the taste.
Robots will harvest, cook, and serve our food. They will work in our factories, drive our cars, and walk our dogs. Like it or not, the age of work is coming to an end.
I love to feed people, and I like to cook food they want to eat and food that will be good for them. I try to cook them things that are lower in fat and see if they will eat them.
I don’t like people’s table manners. That really puts you off eating food.

A good restaurant is like a vacation; it transports you, and it becomes a lot more than just about the food.
Seagulls are a landfill nuisance because they fly away with food scraps and, as is their reputation, fight each other over them midflight, often losing them, and soon a lady has a half-eaten hamburger splashing into her backyard pool.
I love dogs. They live in the moment and don’t care about anything except affection and food. They’re loyal and happy. Humans are just too damn complicated.
Whatever I’m doing, I’m in that moment and I’m doing it. The rest of the world’s lost. If I’m cooking some food or making soup, I want it to be lovely. If not, what’s the point of doing it?
