“I never really cook from recipes. But the worst is when something turns out great and I can’t figure out how to make it again!”

Everybody on our cast is very musically talented, except for me.

So, it’s cool that, yes, Hal Jordan is a superhero, but my character is a real-world hero in her own life.

Since my kitchen is the most important part of my home, I want to be creative and innovative, not only in its aesthetic, but also in the tools that I’m using to cook.

There is something about New Orleans that embodies passion; I’ve never seen that before.

It’s definitely attractive when a man can dress well.

British women can’t cook.

When you cook under pressure you trade perfection.

I don’t run restaurants that are out of control. We are about establishing phenomenal footholdings with talent.
