Where is it written that a smart woman can't also be stacked?
The best thing you can do for someone is make them a beautiful plate of food. How else can you invade someone's body without actually touching them?
Women's voices not being heard is the root of many of the problems of the world.
Beauty is no accomplishment on its own. It's what you do with it.
It doesn't matter how precisely the onion is cut as long as the person chewing it is happy.
If any chef ever tells you they're not inspired equally by the truck-stop barbecue as they are by the four-star Michelin restaurant they are lying.
I'm the kind of girl who thinks about what she's gonna cook for dinner when she's finishing her lunch.
In a way that somebody else converts to Judaism or becomes a Hare Krishna, I belong to the church of fried chicken.
I like me better naked. I don't mean that in a vain way... When you put clothes on, you immediately put a character on. Clothes are adjectives, they are indicators. When you don't have any clothes on, it's just you, raw, and you can't hide.
I'm not tough. I'm tenacious.
I love seafood. I'm not a vegetarian but I'm probably a pescetarian.
Every city has a Donald Trump; ours is just the Trumpiest.
I'm not attached to things at all. I'm very lucky to have quite a few beautiful things, but if I look back at my life, I was often happiest when I had very little.
I'm a sucker for fried chicken - I really love it.
I will eat anything, at least once. For better or worse.
People are thrown off by someone who looks feminine, but is also strong. It's not that pretty girls aren't smart, it's that women aren't strong.
Whether I'm making a recipe or a piece of jewelry or a white-rose-and-jasmine tea or the perfume, I like to think of myself as a happy little sorceress, and if I could just have a little general store with all that stuff and give people a sense of my taste, that would be lovely.
I have great empathy for all the contestants that come on 'Top Chef,' whether they go home right away or they make it to the finish line. It's a very vulnerable position they put themselves in and I feel for them.
I'm still amazed at how much people are willing to humiliate themselves to be on TV.
An oil massage, a hot bath, a good night's sleep, soft smells and music and clothes with soft textures denote sensuality to me.
I've always thought the back is one of the most beautiful parts of a woman.
I have a great career, and I have my daughter. Sio what I don't have is not as important to as what I do have.
I don't have any stigma attached to my body. When I'm in my own private space, I have very little on.
I never Tweet about my daughter. Never. I just want to be respectful of her privacy. My job as a mom is to know when to open my mouth and when not to.
Wine, like food, is so emotional. If you think about it, so much of the courting ritual is surrounded by wine and food. There's a built-in romance to wine.
