approach basis classical cuisine french
I went to L'Academie de Cuisine in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and I think French cooking is the basis for a lot of classical cuisine, a foundation of a lot of other cuisines. That said, it's not the only way to approach a cooking career.
age london looking milan mostly people runway until
I was in Paris, Milan and London from '89 until '91, and I did mostly runway modeling. I know there's so many people out there looking for pictures, but this was way before the age of the Internet, sorry!
close people
When people around me are getting rattled, I may just close my eyes and do a breathing exercise.
time yorkers
I think of New Yorkers as not taking the time to talk to someone they don't know.
cooking enjoying fans food fun love normal people
What I love about 'The Chew' is that we have these celebrities come on, and you get to see them in a different light, cooking or enjoying food, when we usually don't see them in that setting. So it's a lot of fun for their fans to see them be normal people and having that commonality of food.
afraid biggest fear hating love
My biggest fear has always been being 40 and hating my job. I love challenges. I'm not afraid to try anything.
dish keeping
Keeping your space clean is as much a part of the end result as the dish being tasty.
bit six turkey
Turkey is fine, but if I don't have the sides, forget about it. And cornbread stuffing is at the center of my plate. I will have about six sides and then a little bit of turkey and gravy.
approach call candy full matter satisfied
I say 'no' to nothing, 'yes' to moderation. That's how I approach everything. No matter if it's candy or foie gras. When you have the real deal, you're satisfied with that one bite. I say go full throttle and call it a day.
believe
I believe that there are no mistakes in the universe, so I think it all happens as it should!
flavors food heavy love people
For me, I love the flavors of Southern food, and people usually think of Southern food as heavy and fattening, but it doesn't have to be.
